Quantum physics in a leaf? Scientists discover the link between photosynthesis and the fifth state of matter
Scientists have discovered that natural photosynthesis has characteristics similar to condensed exciton, a frictionless energy state that typically requires extremely low temperatures. This insight can improve the design of the technology, potentially doubling energy efficiency. The UChicago researchers hope that exciton condensation islands could pave the way for new discoveries. Inside a laboratory, scientists marvel … Read more
