What is Artificial Photosynthesis?
Plants get their energy in a way that’s very different from the way people obtain energy. When a human needs energy, he eats food. When a plant needs energy, it uses the process of photosynthesis to take in carbon dioxide from the environment and use sunlight to convert it into sugars, which is the type of energy it needs to keep living. Scientists have been working to replicate the process of photosynthesis, trying to harness the sun’s energy in a new, effective and ecologically friendly way, and the artificial photosynthesis research has yielded interesting results.
