Breakthrough Catalyst for Artificial Photosynthesis

All this talk about solar power and the weird thing is, plants have been doing it since the beginning of, well, plants. For years now, scientists have been trying to duplicate and improve upon the process of photosynthesis (even Jimmy Stewart tried it once.) And now a research group led by Osamu Ishitani has created a new catalyst that could turn CO2 into fuel efficiently, with only the power of the sun.
