If I had a nickel for every time someone claimed “artificial photosynthesis” or “solar fuel production” in the lab and wrote a paper or grant proposal about it, I’d have … well, a couple cases of Ukrainian vodka, OK? So I was really impressed to see that a collaboration among the ETH Zurich and a few other Eurpoean organizations actually built a plant that, in real sunlight, out in the field, converts carbon dioxide and water into aviation fuel. This is the first time anyone has ever actually done this for real. '''Check it out''' in the July 20 edition of the Cell Press journal ''Joule'' (open access article!). | |||
