In June 2026, scientists built an artificial photosynthesis system that regulates itself — no external battery needed. Adjust sunlight or pass a cloud and watch the catalyst throttle H₂ production proportionally.

The Discovery · June 2026
Scientists built an artificial photosynthesis system with a built-in feedback mechanism that slows the reaction rate proportionally when light dims — eliminating the external battery banks most current designs require to run at a constant rate.
