Supersonic “Solar Fuel Cell” Could Churn Out Sustainable Hydrogen
First came the artificial leaf, then came the bionic leaf, now make way for a “supersonic solar fuel cell” that uses sunlight to make hydrogen fuel.

Harvard scientists have invented a new way to make rubbing alcohol with a “bionic leaf,” which is a bigger deal than you might think.
Researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are developing a new bionic leaf that can convert energy from sunlight into an energy-dense fuel, imitating the photosynthetic process of plants. We’ve covered the artificial leaf concept before but aside from using a cool new name (bionic leaf sounds much cooler than artificial … [continued]
