What if plants could save the planet, but like, cooler? Enter the “artificial leaf,” a sci-fi-sounding invention that sucks CO2 out of the air and turns it into sustainable fuel. Scientists at Cambridge and Berkeley have basically created a high-tech plant that runs on copper nanoflowers and perovskite (try saying that five times fast). While it’s still in its early stages, this leafy little gadget could be the key to fighting climate change—or at least making us feel less guilty about driving gas-guzzling cars.
