Scientists make major energy breakthrough with 'state-of-the-art' photosynthesis technique: 'Only energy and useful chemicals were created'

A Japanese research team believes it has found a potential medical and green-energy breakthrough by replicating a process that has been powering Earth since its formation. The team from Nagoya University has developed a method of artificial photosynthesis that uses water and sunlight to turn organic-compound waste into energy and pharmaceutical materials. The new process is called artificial photosynthesis directed toward organic synthesis (APOS…
