• ‘Artificial Forest’ Nanosystem Mimics Photosynthesis, Researchers Say

  
  — Authority:
  U.S. scientists have developed what they say is the first integrated nanosystem capable of replicating the process of photosynthesis, a sort of “artificial forest” that could one day lead to the production of hydrogen that could be used to power fuel cells . Composed of nanowire structures — including silicon ...

• Scientists Interrupt Photosynthesis To Snatch Plants’ Clean Energy

  
  EarthTechling — Authority: 569
  Planet Earth is the ultimate zero-waste operation. Left to her own devices, Mother Earth wastes nothing. Using only the sun’s energy, each and every natural process is supported, with the waste from one being used to fuel another. With all of our sophisticated technology, we’re still far from achieving this type ...

• Scientists Use Cyborg Plants to Harvest Solar Energy

  
  — Authority:
  Our star, the Sun, provides most of the energy on this planet. (Essentially, all the energy except for nuclear, comes directly or indirectly from it.) Our current methods of converting solar radiation into electricity (photovoltaics) are not very efficient in comparison with plants. Researchers at the University of ...

• Power plants: UGA researchers explore how to harvest electricity directly from plants

  
  — Authority:
  Athens, Ga. – The sun provides the most abundant source of energy on the planet. However, only a tiny fraction of the solar radiation on Earth is converted into useful energy. To help solve this problem, researchers at the University of Georgia looked to nature for inspiration, and they are now developing a new ...
