Plants harness quantum physics to capture solar energy with near-perfect efficiency. Scientists are now exploring how to ...

Scientists have developed an artificial photosynthesis technology that produces precursors of biodegradable nylon from biomass-derived compounds and ammonia. Nylon, the durable and elastic ...

Plants use light to generate fuels through photosynthesis—converting energy from the sun into sugar molecules. With artificial photosynthesis, scientists mimic nature and convert light into high ...

Professor Yutaka Amao's team at the Research Center for Artificial Photosynthesis previously reported on a method for producing raw materials for biodegradable plastics from biomass-derived compounds.

Quantum mechanics plays a role in the process of photosynthesis. Engineers have long sought efficient ways to convert solar ...

Astronauts on China's Tiangong space station successfully produce oxygen and rocket fuel using artificial photosynthesis, paving the way for future space missions, including China's planned Moon base.

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.

Chinese researchers have managed to mimic nature to produce artificial leaves that can track the sun and split water ...

The process was the first-ever in-orbit demonstration of artificial photosynthesis technology. The idea of using semiconductor catalysts differs from other conventional oxygen-producing techniques ...

The network of indoor farms will use the Square Roots IP and modular farming platform to grow specialty crops.

Astronauts on China's Tiangong station used artificial photosynthesis to turn CO₂ and water into oxygen and rocket fuel.
