Scientific American magazine is reporting on new insight into how plants can convert sunlight into energy with 95% efficiency.
Detail
In less than one billionth of a second, plants from algae to redwoods transform 95 percent of the sunlight that falls on them into energy stored chemically as carbohydrates. The quantum key to doing that lies in a phenomenon known to physicists as quantum coherence, according to new research published in Nature on February 4. - Scientific American is part of Nature Publishing Group.-
In the article Engel says. "This work will open the floodgates to new techniques to move and concentrate energy efficiently. It is extremely important for semiconductor devices [and] solar light harvesting."
