Mimicking the highly efficient power-generation process of photosynthesis, an artificial leaf could change how the world gets energy. And new developments at MIT mean it could happen in the next few years. Earlier this year, MIT professor Daniel Nocera made a discovery : By dipping a cobalt-and phosphate-coated artificial silicon leaf into a jar of water, he could effectively mimic photosynthesis and create power at an efficiency greater than today's solar panels
