  New artificial leaf generates fuel from sunlight and water Scientists have developed an artificial leaf that absorbs sunlight to generate hydrogen fuel from water, an advance that may provide clean energy for powering eco-friendly cars in the future. The ultra-thin wireless device mimics plant leaves to produce energy using water and sunlight. The device consists of semiconductors stacked in a manner to simulate the natural leaf system. When visible light strikes the semiconductors, electrons move in one direction, producing electric current. The current almost instantaneously splits water into hydrogen, which researchers believe is one of the cleanest forms of fuel as its main by-product is water. Note: At present, hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels by steam reforming and in this process, emits a large amount of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) - a greenhouse gas that promotes global warming.
