Nanoparticles that mimic plant pigment to deliver better solar panels

"synthesized nanoparticles that mimic what chlorophyll (the green pigment in most plants) does in nature—absorb light and convert it to usable energy with high efficiency... Mother Nature can teach us so much as we all think of ways to nurse our planet back to health. In this study, we looked at how light is absorbed, enhanced and utilized in biological systems, and we have incorporated those mechanisms into our own hybrid devices... nanoparticles platform... light absorbers... enhanced efficiency"
