Photon-powered alchemy: How light is rewriting fossil fuel chemistry

Researchers at Colorado State University have developed a new photoredox catalysis system that uses visible light mimicking photosynthesis to drive energy-intensive chemical reactions at room temperature. This groundbreaking process could significantly reduce the energy required in chemical manufacturing, especially in industries reliant on fossil fuels.
