Artificial leaves to capture sunlight
Using one’s car through an artificial leaf: this progress would be
incredible ! Antonio REGALADO is a science journalist who reports
the research of N. Lewis and those of many scientific laboratories.
They have been able to demonstrate that the sun could produce
right away chemical fuel.
Indeed, the newspaper article pourlascience.fr explains that
thanks to the inventions of scientists, artificial leaves, like green
plants, would capture the sun rays, which we could use to fuel our
cars and power our electric plants.
Despite these advanced researches, artificial leaves have not yet
been realized.
Solar panels in space?

The scientific breakthrough that allows to believe it
The Huffington Post newspaper published
on March 13, 2015 an article (Solar
Panels
in
space?
The
scientific
breakthrough thatallows to believe it)
written by Manon Gabriel telling about a
scientific breakthrough not quite visible.
This article is about an invention which
could revolutionize the world as it could
solve energy shortageproblems.
Indeed, this invention is clean and inexhaustible. Since 1980 Japan dreams of producing
electricity in interstellar level and then send it to the earth. Their first research began in 1998.
This ambitious project was launched in 2009. It consists in sending large photovoltaic panels
in space. With a capacity ten times bigger than it is now, such devices will convert the energy
of sunlight into electricity.
This electric current transformed into an energy flow would then be transmitted by laser or
micro-wave beam to the Earth where it would be picked up by a giant satellite dish to be
converted into electricity.
