MIT: Chemists discover why photosynthetic light-harvesting is so efficient ( news.mit.edu )
The disorganized arrangement of the proteins in light-harvesting complexes is the key to their extreme efficiency.
I found this to be a fascinating read. Wish the paper was linked, but it looks like it’s slated to be released in a journal later this week.
Though it looks like this research isn’t exactly new as this 2013 article would suggest: news.mit.edu/…/secret-of-efficient-photosynthesis…
