When we think of solar power, we usually think of solar panels, but we should really be thinking about plants. After all, plants are the original solar power generators, turning the sun’s rays into energy through the process we all learned about in biology class: photosynthesis. Researchers at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, have developed a device that mimics that process artificially, producing what could be the cleanest energy on earth. In fact, they claim their “artificial leaf” is even more efficient than real plants at harnessing the power of the sun and turning it into useable energy.
