Quantum tricks turn leaves into perfect solar panels, scientists unravel how
SMRTR summary
Scientists have discovered how plants use quantum mechanics to transport solar energy efficiently. The study reveals that chlorophyll molecules use a superposition of excited states to enable almost loss-free energy transfer, occurring within 100 femtoseconds and involving a crucial intermediary state lasting less than 30 femtoseconds.
