Scientists have developed an artificial leaf that uses sunlight to convert CO₂ into hydrocarbons, offering a sustainable ...

A flexible artificial leaf mimics aquatic plants' light-tracking, increasing solar fuel production by up to 866% even at steep angles - without motors or external controls.

Photosynthesis -- mainly carried out by plants -- is based on a remarkably efficient energy conversion process. To generate chemical energy, sunlight must first be captured and transported further.
