A new review from Osaka Metropolitan University (OMU) summarizes the biocatalysts involved in semi-artificial photosynthesis, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers from the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) and the University of Tokyo have engineered a new ...

A new review gives a comprehensive overview of natural photosynthesis; the principles and history of artificial ...

Artificial photosynthesis may be closer than you think. Scientists at the University of Basel have developed a molecule that can store four charges from light, speeding up the quest for carbon-neutral ...

This is what the stack of four dyes synthesised in Würzburg looks like. It represents a further step towards artificial photosynthesis because it absorbs light energy and transfers it quickly and ...

One distinction between natural photochemistry and artificial photosynthesis is the number of electrons transferred at the same time—the latter relies on multi-electron transfer reactions. Now, a ...

Turning carbon dioxide into usable fuel with nothing more than sunlight has long sounded like science fiction. A wave of recent breakthroughs now suggests it is edging into engineering reality, with ...

Chinese astronauts claim to have created rocket fuel on board the country’s Tiangong space station using a new process dubbed “artificial photosynthesis.” As the South China Morning Post reports, ...

During our generation and after, the issue of energy sustainability will be of paramount importance. To many scientists, the key to meeting surging energy demands amidst declining non-renewable ...

Harnessing sunlight to power the future has taken a major step forward thanks to new research on nanosized oxyhalide photocatalysts. A team of Japanese scientists has demonstrated that shrinking and ...

Polydopamine nanosheets mimic natural photosynthesis, improving charge separation and stability for efficient hydrogen production in solar fuel applications.
