The leaf is one of nature’s most impressive little machines, able to convert sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into energy. Scientists at Cambridge have now created a type of artificial leaf that can ...

Hydrogen can be produced via the electrolytic splitting of water. One option here is the use of photoelectrodes that convert sunlight into voltage for electrolysis in so-called photoelectrochemical ...

Hydrogen-producing artificial leaves might soon be even better at their jobs thanks to a new study that examined the effects of pressure on the chemical processes they run. It all comes down to ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) A transparent leaf bends toward sunlight, its surface gleaming as it splits water into hydrogen and oxygen fuel. This isn't a natural plant—it's an artificial photosynthesis ...

At Cambridge University, it’s not uncommon to glance at the River Cam and spot a punt boat crammed with students, or perhaps an emerald-headed mallard floating along the water. A more extraordinary ...

Researchers have brought us one step closer to harnessing the sun’s energy to convert carbon dioxide into liquid fuel and other valuable chemicals. In a recent publication in Nature Catalysis, the ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The conversion of sunlight into usable energy lies at the center of modern strategies for renewable energy development. Among natural processes, photosynthesis remains the most ...
