The new "artificial leaf" is expected to reduce the dependability on nature and hence would improve its diversity.
Scientists are examining the ability of a specific type of algae that might cure blindness.
The artificial leaf is a hybrid of semiconductors and bacteria that mimics photosynthesises, in using solar energy to covering carbon dioxide emissions into environment-friendly products.
A system of artificial photosynthesis can collect carbon dioxide before it escapes into out atmosphere and turns it into useful products including drugs and alternative fuels, according to researchers.
Researchers have understood how the Emerald Sea Slug uses photosynthesis for survival.
