In Japan, where the government via subsidies is boosting the use of solar energy in the domestic homes sector, there is a growing interest in the potentials offered by nanotechnology to develop an inexpensive yet highly efficient form of artificial photosynthesis.
In natural plant photosynthesis, solar energy is converted into chemical energy and the whole process is conducted on the nanoscale, yet starting from nanometre proportions biomass is created over the planet's surface on the massive scale. It is this quantitative leap from nano to mass, through orderly precision controlled expansion, that lies at the heart of nanotechnology, for it represents the opener to large ...
