Researchers in England have developed a concept for a “solar leaf,” or an amalgamation of biological inspiration and photovoltaic technology. With a leaf-like shape, transpiration feature, and the ...

Leaves are beautifully specialized organs designed to maximize the use of light and CO₂ for photosynthesis. Engineering leaf anatomy therefore holds great potential to enhance photosynthetic capacity.

Leaf vasculature plays a pivotal role in nutrient transport and leaf morphology. A new study in Brassica rapa reveals the developmental trajectories of vascular tissues in Chinese cabbage using single ...

Dried leaves convert small temperature differences into electricity through ion movement, offering a natural, biodegradable platform for efficient thermal energy harvesting that rivals engineered ...
