New York: American scientists have created an artificial plant that is capable of generating enough energy to charge a smartphone while simultaneously cleaning indoor air.
A team of scientists from Binghamton University in the US state of New York created an artificial address using five biological solar cells and their photosynthetic bacteria.
Based on five synthetic leaves, this plant was found to capture carbon dioxide at a higher rate than natural plants, along with generating oxygen and electricity.
In the research on this plant, scientists said that due to global warming, the traditional methods of distilling carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are becoming ineffective.
The study found that these artificial plants use the light inside the four walls to absorb sunlight, reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by up to 90 percent (from 5,000 ppm to 500 ppm). , while in natural plants this rate is up to 10 percent.
