Artificial photosynthesis lab.

It is amazing that plants photosynthetic machinery is the only one that keeps the earth and human beings alive by fixing the carbon dioxide and generating the oxygen that is required for all the human activities. It is also surprising that the reaction that just uses sunglight, water and carbon-dioxide could be the most important one.

Well, there just found out about the one organization that is doing research in that area. It is interesting that they are trying to understand the reactions that are involved and then seeking to replace it in vitro. Browse the link below to find out more…

    Cellular automata are more of a computer based concept wherein a “cell” that is created in virtual screen dependent on the neighbors. Its creation or destruction is dependent on the type of neighbors. This leads to interesting displays, dynamic scenario’s, that are always dynamic since the neighbor’s affect their other neighbors and the effect continues…
