Natural photosynthesis holds great potential to generate clean electricity from solar energy. In order to utilize this process for power generation, it is necessary to rewire photosynthetic
As scientists investigate new mechanisms for large-scale conversion processes to meet the needs of our energy transition, an important pathway to explore is that of artificial photosynthesis, which seeks to emulate
But other types of solar technology exist—the two most common are solar hot water and concentrated solar power. Solar hot water. Solar hot water systems capture thermal energy from the sun and use it to heat
Capturing the moment: to use artificial photosynthesis to produce clean energy, we need to better understand it first. Learn about how X-ray free-electron lasers can help. The chloroplast, a cell organelle unique to
We consider opportunities in which the frontiers of synthetic biology might be used to enhance natural photosynthesis for improved solar energy conversion efficiency. Sunlight is the most abundant and sustainable
