Using fossil fuels to produce energy has had a detrimental impact on the planet. Despite pushes for cleaner energy, the power sector is still the top producer of harmful emissions according to the United Nations. As it becomes clear that human-driven climate change is making it harder for trees to breathe, it is fitting that a new proposed solution is inspired by the photosynthesis of plants.
A team of researchers at the University of Cambridge has developed artificial photosynthesis. The system mimics plants by using sunlight, water, and CO2 to create energy. The benefit of this system is th
