North Carolina experts indicate how water based ‘artificial leaf’ produces electricity

Did you know that a North Carolina State University team has shown that water gel-based solar devices (called: “artificial leaves”) can act like solar cells to generate electricity?

The conclusions prove the concept for making solar cells that more closely copy nature. They also have the possibility to be less costly and more beneficial to our environment than the recent standard silicon based solar cells.

A damm sight more attractive too!

This is a great  to see and hear article from Collen why don’t we hear more from the great uk on this?

Thanks North Carolina and Colleen for the article

Power generating plants that don’t need watering, amazing..
