Supersonic electrons could produce future solar fuel
Lund, Sweden (SPX) Mar 03, 2015
Researchers from institutions including Lund University have taken a step closer to producing solar fuel using artificial photosynthesis. In a new study, they have successfully tracked the electrons' rapid transit through a light-converting molecule. The ultimate aim of the present study is to find a way to make fuel from water using sunlight. This is what photosynthesis does all the time - plants convert water and carbon dioxide to energy rich molecules using sunlight. Researchers around the worl ... read more
