Scientists have successfully developed the first rooftop panels that can cleanse polluted city air with incredible efficiency. The BioSolar Leaf technology uses photosynthesis to purify the same amount of air as 100 trees in as little space as a single tree.
The BioSolar Leaf cultivation system facilitates the growth of tiny plants—including diatoms, microalgae, and phytoplankton—across large structures. The platforms can be installed similar to solar panels on buildings and landscapes. Via photosynthesis, the microscopic bits of biomass convert greenhouse gases in the air to clean, breathable oxygen…[READ MORE]
