(Source: Lunds universitet) The ultimate aim of the present study is to find a way to make fuel from water using sunlight. This is what photosynthesis does all the time - plants convert water and carbon dioxide to energy rich molecules using sunlight. Researchers around the world are therefore attempting to borrow ideas from photosynthesis in order to find a way to produce solar fuel artificially. "Our study shows how it is possible to construct a molecule in which the conversion of light to chemical energy happens so fast that no energy is lost...
