Game Changer: Scientists Create INFINITE Energy by Mimicking Algae

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have revealed they may have discovered the key to creating an “unlimited source of renewable energy”, in a game-changing breakthrough that could revolutionize solar energy production.

The discovery is basically scientists improving on photosynthesis, the ancient process plants use to convert sunlight into energy, by harnessing human technology with plants.

The researchers used a technique called semi-artificial photosynthesis, which was performed by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen.

Hydrogen, which is produced when the water is split, is a complete green and infinite source of energy.

“Natural photosynthesis is not efficient because it has evolved merely to survive so it makes the bare minimum amount of energy needed – around one to two percent of what it could potentially convert and store”, said St John's College PhD student Katarzyna Sokol.

According to the DS: Researchers did this by reactivating a mysterious enzyme present in algae, that can reduce protons into hydrogen.

And in a world first, their method managed to absorb more solar light than natural photosynthesis – bettering nature.
