Photosynthetic organisms are crucial for life on Earth as they provide food and oxygen and
are at the basis of most energy resources. They have a large variety of light-harvesting …

Because sunlight is diffuse and intermittent, substantial use of solar energy to meet
humanity's needs will probably require energy storage in dense, transportable media via …

There has been an urgent need to tackle global climate change and replace conventional
fuels with alternatives from sustainable sources. This has led to the emergence of bioenergy …

Modern civilization is dependent upon fossil fuels, a nonrenewable energy source originally
provided by the storage of solar energy. Fossil-fuel dependence has severe consequences …

Multifunctional carbon-based nanomaterials offer routes towards the realization of smart and
high-performing (opto) electronic (nano) devices, sensors and logic gates. Meanwhile …

Almost two decades after the outstanding X-ray crystallographic studies of light-harvesting
antenna complex LH2 of the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas acidophila, a …

Photochromes are photoswitchable, bistable chromophores which, like transistors, can
implement binary logic operations. When several photochromes are combined in one …

Coordination chemistry is regularly used to generate supramolecular constructs with unique
environments around embedded components to affect their intrinsic properties. In certain …

Sunlight is the ultimate energy source for the vast majority of life on Earth, and organisms
have evolved elegant machinery for energy capture and utilization. Solar energy, whether …

Artificial photosynthesis comprises the design of systems for converting solar energy into
useful forms based on the fundamental science underlying natural photosynthesis. There …
