Bionic Leaf Makes Fuel from Sunlight, Water and Air
A tree’s leaf, a blade of grass, a single algal cell: all make fuel from the simple combination of water, sunlight and carbon dioxide through the miracle of photosynthesis. Now scientists say they have replicated—and improved—that trick by combining chemistry and biology in a “bionic” leaf. Chemist Daniel Nocera of Harvard University and his team […]
