Solar cell consisting of a single molecule: Individual protein complex generates electric current

Photosynthesis allows plants to convert light into chemical energy. Utilizing this process to produce electrical energy is a research goal worldwide. Now a team of scientists at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen and the Tel Aviv University has succeeded to directly derive and measure the photoelectric current generated by single molecules of the photosystem I.
