University of Cambridge and Berkeley researchers develop artiical leaf to produce clean fuels and chemicals

February 26, 2025 |

In the UK, tiny copper ‘nano-flowers’ have been attached to an artificial leaf to produce clean fuels and chemicals that are the backbone of modern energy and manufacturing. The researchers, from the University of Cambridge and the University of California, Berkeley, developed a practical way to make hydrocarbons – molecules made of carbon and hydrogen […]
