CANADA: An artificial leaf may soon turn the whole energy industry upside-down, providing cars, houses and even whole cities with a new, but well-known type of energy, Australian scientists say.
Researches from Monash University School of Chemistry, Victoria, announced they have designed a machine that uses hydrogen as a fuel source. The mechanism is based on the process of photosynthesis that turns sunlight into energy in plants.
Professor Doug MacFarlane, head of the research team, is sure there’s nothing more perfect than nature and that applies to the process of photosynthesis as well.
“We have to learn as much as we can from photosynthesis, which is what goes on in leafy plants, because that’s where most of our energy comes from in terms of fossil fuels or current kinds of carbon materials that we use either as food or fuel,” ABC News reported MacFarlane as saying.
