Uncovering quantum secret in photosynthesis

Thursday, June 20, 2013 - 14:00 in Physics & Chemistry

Scientists have observed the quantum character of light transport through the molecular machines at work in natural photosynthesis. By studying a single machine at a time, they found that this quantum transport is very persistent and robust regardless of environmental changes. These results could pave the way for the construction of solar energy devices with an efficiency surpassing anything we have seen to date.
