Artificial Photosynthesis: Like Water for Gasoline

Harness the power of the sun to do more for you than we have ever imagined.  I like that idea but the question is. How?

If you’ve ever sat idling in a tunnel with the car windows rolled down, you know why burning petrochemicals is bad for the environment. Internal combustion engines are woefully inefficient. But suppose the world could run on water and sunshine instead. Sound like unicorns and lollipops? It isn’t.

The article describes the purpose of the research and alludes to the creation of an artificial leaf that will capture natural chemicals and use sunlight to convert those into a usable fuel.
