Silk Leaf is the first man made synthetic leaf that can produce oxygen just like a real leaf.

The Silk Leaf will be showcased for the first time in the Middle East during Downtown Design and is perhaps one of the most thrilling technologies that are now being developed. In essence, the synthetic leaf mimes the natural process of photosynthesis, producing oxygen when provided with light and water –just as a natural leaf would. The possible applications are limitless, from the purification of the air in urban environments to the generation of oxygen for spaceships –a prospect that has already sparked the imagination of the project’s designer, who is already dreaming of NASA taking his leaf to outer space.
