to
have created an artificial leaf, made from stable and inexpensive materials,
which mimics nature's photosynthesis process.*

*The device is an advanced solar cell, no bigger than a typical playing
card, which is left floating in a pool of water. Then, much like a natural
leaf, it uses sunlight to split the water into its two core components,
oxygen and hydrogen, which are stored in a fuel cell to be used when
producing electricity<http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2011-02/24/electricity-conducting-plastics>
