A strange quantum effect dramatically boosts energy transfer

SMRTR summary

Scientists discovered a new energy transfer mechanism called proton shuttle-assisted triplet energy transfer (PS-TET), where a proton's temporary movement dramatically boosts energy transfer speed and efficiency. Surprisingly, quantum tunneling drives this process even at room temperature, potentially enabling better control of solar cells, lasers, and catalysis.
