Artificial leaves will help in space travel

As many probably know, plant growth slows down considerably or stops completely in the absence of gravity. This factor allows to apply them in the development of Autonomous life-support systems of cosmonauts. To cope with this drawback I can help artificial leaves. The advantage of artificial analogues lies in their simplicity, these plants do not need the sun, the factor of gravity and the ground. The plants can produce oxygen in the presence of water, light and carbon dioxide. It can also be noted that artificial plants are not demanding to care.

The inner part of the artificial leaf is composed of a chloroplast is lesstwo is in normal plants and used for photosynthesis. For the Association of chloroplast applied silk extract, which replaces the standard shell of the plant.

This material can be used not only in space, cover the walls of the artificial leaf – the possibility of additional clean indoor air.
