The study opens up new possibilities for generating synthetic materials for technological purposes.
-- We learn about photosynthesis in elementary school – if only as a basic explanation of how plants generate their own energy, and why we need to water them and keep them near a light source for them to do so.
"As far as we know, these areas have never been connected before, so we found this very compelling and exciting," study co-author Professor David Mazziotti of the Department of Chemistry said an a UChicago News article. This carries the energy of the sun to another area, where it sets forth a chemical reaction that generates sugars for the plant to consume, the study said.
Models created by the research team determined the excitons in a leaf during photosynthesis can link up in ways similar to excitons in a Bose-Einstein condensate where atoms have been cooled to near absolute zero, UChicago said. Until now, exciton condensates had only ever been seen when materials were cooled significantly below room temperature, UChicago said.There was more than one way the findings were surprising.
