Artificial "leaves" simulate photosynthesis to efficiently produce methanol
Scientists have developed a new artificial "leaf" that mimics photosynthesis with unprecedented efficiency, converting sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide directly into methanol. This new device achieves a methanol yield 32 times higher than previous artificial leaf technologies. Separately, researchers created a physics-informed neural network that significantly reduces the training time for discovering new materials, potentially accelerating advancements in fields like quantum computing.
