Purple power: Synthetic ‘purple membranes’ transform sunlight to hydrogen fuel

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory have found a new way to produce solar fuels by developing completely synthetic bionano machinery to harvest light without the need for a living cell. The researchers’ technique, reported in ACS Nano as a “synthetic purple membrane,” is an important step toward producing clean fuels that can Read more about Purple power: Synthetic ‘purple membranes’ transform sunlight to hydrogen fuel[…]
