IISER, IIT Researchers Develop New Artificial Photosynthetic System to Capture Solar Energy
Researchers from IISER-Thiruvananthapuram and IIT-Indore developed a new artificial light-harvesting system that can efficiently capture light for power conversion by mimicking photosynthesis, the process by which plants absorb sunlight and produce sugars.
According to officials, scientists across the globe are trying to replicate the light-harvesting step of photosynthesis in engineered systems for use in solar cells or artificial leaves.
