Seeing the big picture in photosynthetic light harvesting

Friday, January 22, 2016 - 14:02 in Physics & Chemistry

Scientists have created the first computational model that simulates the light-harvesting activity of thousands of antenna proteins that would interact in the chloroplast of an actual leaf. The results point the way to improving the yields of food and fuel crops, and developing artificial photosynthesis technologies for next generation solar energy systems.
