Artificial leaf reducing CO2 in the lab (VIDEO) University of Cambridge This video is under embargo. Please login to access this video. Caption Researchers from the University of Cambridge designed ultra-thin, flexible devices, which take their inspiration from photosynthesis – the process by which plants convert sunlight into food. Since the low-cost, autonomous devices are light enough to float, they could be used to generate a sustainable alternative to petrol without taking up space on land.
