Figure 1 Schematic illustration of the PV cell and transpiration structure arrangement within the bio-inspired PV-leaf: a) Typical internal structure of a real leaf. The vascular bundles uniformly ...

A process cools plants. Researchers have designed a PV-leaf that mimics this very process of plant leaves, which hide an ...

Transpiration, the process of plants releasing water vapor, is crucial for plant cooling but can lead to dehydration in extreme heat. Continuously high nighttime temperatures exacerbate plant stress ...

The temperature of a reference leaf beside each individual was measured simultaneously to render temperatures comparable. 3. Generally, the species from HD showed lower leaf temperatures than the ...

Home > Energy 'Solar Leaf' Concept Said to Harvest 13% More Sun Than Standard Solar Cells The system uses plant-inspired transpiration to cool itself, preventing heat-induced efficiency losses.

Katrin Huber, Jan Vanderborght, Mathieu Javaux, Harry Vereecken, Simulating transpiration and leaf water relations in response to heterogeneous soil moisture and different stomatal control mechanisms, ...

Feeding by phloem-feeding arthropods, such as aphids, increased leaf transpiration and reduced leaf surface temperature, whereas feeding by tissue-piercing arthropods, such as mites and lace bugs ...

Here is an additional quote from the Cornell Chronicle Online article. "Besides supporting the theory of transpiration as a physical, not biological, process, the synthetic tree also introduces a ...
