An ANU team has successfully replicated one of the crucial steps in photosynthesis, opening the way for biological systems powered by sunlight which could manufacture hydrogen as a fuel.
Two and a half billion years of chemical experimentation through evolution may be about to provide us with a remarkable solution to the global energy crisis, writes SOPHIA CALLANDER.
Researchers from the Research School of Chemistry have made an important step towards unlocking the potential of a plant’s photosynthetic powerhouse, moving closer to a renewable source of clean hydrogen fuel.
