It is highly possible that in the future the world could be powered by photosynthesis from artificial leaves, say researchers from Monash University Melbourne. They believe a system that they have created could be used to run cars, houses and even whole communities.

The 'artificial leaf' created by researchers is actually more of a solar-powered device that is able to produce hydrogen with a record-breaking degree of efficiency. The details of the technology, which marks a massive step towards simulating practical, artificial photosynthesis, have been laid out in a paper published in the journal Energy and Environmental Science.
