Millions of years have evolution has resulted in plants being the most efficient harvesters of solar energy on the planet. Much research is underway into ways to artificially mimic photosynthesis in devices like
artificial leaves, but researchers at the University of Georgia (UGA) are working on a different approach that gives new meaning to the term "power plant." Their technology harvests energy generated through photosynthesis before the plants can make use of it, allowing the energy to instead be used to run low-powered electrical devices...
