Abstract

Abstract : Natural CO 2 conversion can be triggered with high spatial control by shining light on precision‐tailored pristine leaves, as reported by Alexander Kuhn et al. in their Research Article (e202205298 ). The perfectly site‐selective evolution of oxygen under irradiation, symbolized by the bubbles released at the extremity of a leaf positioned at the air/water interface of a mountain lake, is used to generate significant motion of such all‐natural macro‐ and microswimmers.
