Plants harness quantum physics to capture solar energy with near-perfect efficiency. Scientists are now exploring how to ...

And different systems store and transfer energy differently. JAMES: Energy is also transferred through work done. We cover work done in much more detail in our Bitesize Physics ‘forces’ series ...

Researchers try to decode the quantum mechanics of chlorophyll, Nature’s near-perfect light harvester, to harness solar energy flawlessly.

Quantum mechanics plays a role in the process of photosynthesis. Engineers have long sought efficient ways to convert solar ...

Quantum mechanics is therefore central to understanding the first steps of energy transfer and charge separation." This process, which cannot be understood satisfactorily by classical physics ...

Scientists study how tiny pigments in leaves use quantum mechanics to transfer energy efficiently for better solar panels.

A study from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) highlights the role of quantum mechanics in photosynthesis, a process ...
