Nanoscale artificial leaf can extract hydrogen from water with just sunlight

Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has shown what they call the "first fully integrated nanosystem for artificial photosynthesis".

New “Artificial Leaf” Concept Could Blow Up Fuel Cell Market

The idea of an “artificial leaf” sounds simple enough: Take a small, cheap, light-collecting device the size of a typical leaf, dunk it in a quart of water, and use solar energy to generate enough hydrogen gas for powering a small fuel cell. Show More Summary

Hydrogen energy the chloroplast way: solar-to-fuel with the artificial leaf

The first fully integrated nanosystem for artificial photosynthesis is developed for producing hydrogen with cheap components and biomimicry.

Artificial forest for solar water-splitting: First fully integrated artificial photosynthesis nanosystem

Researchers have created the first fully integrated artificial photosynthesis nanosystem. While "artificial leaf" is the popular term for such a system, the key to this success was an "artificial forest."

Artificial leaf produces energy from dirty water

The groundbreaking technology has gotten even better with the ability to self-heal and produce hydrogen from dirty water.

Sun Catalytix "Artificial Leaf" Can Heal Itself

Artificial photosynthesis device gains Wolverine powers, can run in impure water

Artificial Leaf, Heal Thyself!

There is nothing quite like coming up with new inventions that have been inspired by nature. How else do you think man managed to achieve flight? Certainly it has nothing to do with wearing a pair of wings that are made out of wax and...Show More Summary

‘Artificial leaf’ makes clean energy from dirty water

“Artificial Leaf” Makes Clean Energy From Dirty Water

What’s all this fuss about silly federal research projects? If one day in the not too distant future you can go to the dollar store, buy a thin, flat device the size of a playing card, dunk it in a quart of dirty bath water and use it to generate about 100 watts of electricity 24 hours a day, you can thank the Air Force.

Self-healing “artificial leaf” produces energy from dirty water

Back in 2011, scientists reported the creation of the “world’s first practical artificial leaf” that mimics the ability of real leaves to produce energy from sunlight and water. Touted as a potentially inexpensive source of electricity...Show More Summary

'Artificial leaf' gains the ability to self-heal damage and produce energy from dirty water

Another innovative feature has been added to the world's first practical "artificial leaf," making the device even more suitable for providing people in developing countries and remote areas with electricity. It gives the leaf the ability to self-heal damage.

The Long-Awaited “Artificial Leaf” Promises Fuel From Sunlight And Water

A team at MIT has been working for years on a device that would use sunlight to create hydrogen from water. They’re getting closer and closer to making it available. While the price of solar power has been falling dramatically, its big disadvantage remains its intermittency. Show More Summary

Remember the artificial leaf? Startup turns to making a flow battery instead

Say goodbye to the much-hyped artificial leaf from MIT-spin out Sun Catalytix. According to MIT Tech Review the startup is now building a flow battery, which is a major change in strategy for the venture capital and Department of Energy-backed company.

MIT’s “Artifical Leaf” For Solar Energy Storage & Fuel Moves Forward

Bringing the concept of an “artificial leaf” closer to reality, a team of researchers at MIT has published a detailed analysis of all the factors that could limit the efficiency of such a system. The new analysis lays out a roadmap for...Show More Summary

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Bringing the concept of an "artificial leaf" closer to reality, a team of researchers at MIT has published a detailed analysis of all the factors that could limit the efficiency of such a system. The new analysis lays...Show More Summary

The Artifical Leaf

‘The Artificial Leaf’, by Jared P. Scott & Kelly Nyks, is a short film with a big idea… a simple formula to save the planet: sunlight + water = energy for the world. Dan Nocera tells us how. ‘The Artificial Leaf’ is is one of 20 finalists in the Focus Forward Filmmaker Competition who are all vying [...]

Strawberry Black from Red Leaf Tea

The flavor of the tea is a strong black with definite strawberry taste. I find the flavor of the strawberry very natural, not like an artificial flavor. I enjoy this tea both hot and cold.

Sun Catalytix Won't be Raking It in with Artificial Leaf

Producing hydrogen from artificial photosynthesis turns out to be too expensive

Artificial leaf device produces hydrogen in water using only sunlight

Scientists have developed, using nanotechnology, a device with semiconductor materials which generate hydrogen independently in water using only sunlight.  This technology, which has been named artificial photosynthesis, was inspired by photosynthesis which occurs naturally. Show More Summary
