Biomimicry is all the rage in cleantech these days. There are solar cells modeled after butterfly wings, fans borrowing from humpback whales to become more aerodynamic and wind turbine blades ...

Newswise — During photosynthesis, a chemical reaction jumpstarted by sunlight breaks down chemicals into the food plants need to repair themselves and to grow. But as researchers attempt to better ...

According to calculations, a quantum version of energy transfer in plants would not necessarily offer any speedup compared to its classical counterpart. A prominent goal of quantum information and ...

Photosynthesis and other natural processes depend on energy moving quickly and efficiently across molecules. When sunlight strikes a leaf, energy races across protein structures before it can be ...
