Researchers at the Australian National University are one step closer to creating an artificial photosynthesis system after replicating one of its crucial steps. The development may lead to an ...

Scientists have made an important step on the long road to artificially mimicking photosynthesis. They were able to synthesise a stable inorganic metal oxide cluster, which enables the fast and ...

Mimicking how plants convert sunlight into energy has long been a dream for scientists aiming to create renewable energy solutions. Artificial photosynthesis is a process that seeks to replicate ...

While solar cells and wind turbines are the devices many people will think of for off-grid electricity production, the development of practical artificial photosynthesis for the creation of hydrogen ...

Despite our best efforts, photovoltaic solar cells are still expensive and only moderately efficient. Plants have been making electrochemical energy from the sun since time immemorial, which has led ...

(Nanowerk News) Rice University scientists have created an efficient, simple-to-manufacture oxygen-evolution catalyst that pairs well with semiconductors for solar water splitting, the conversion of ...

Photosynthesis has driven life on this planet for more than 3 billion years -- first in bacteria, then in plants -- but we don't know exactly how it works. Photosynthesis has driven life on this ...

Using SLAC’s X-ray laser, researchers have finally seen the process by which nature creates the oxygen we breathe. Credit: Greg Stewart/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Using SLAC’s X-ray laser, ...
