Quantum physics meets genetic engineering

Nature has had billions of years to perfect photosynthesis, which directly or indirectly supports virtually all life on Earth. In that time, the process has achieved almost 100 percent efficiency in transporting the energy of sunlight from receptors to reaction centers where it can be harnessed...

Fine-tuning photosynthesis

A new analysis by MIT researchers could make it possible to design more efficient artificial systems that mimic the way plants harvest the energy of sunlight through photosynthesis. The study is the latest in an ongoing series examining the process of photosynthesis and the different variables...

just thought these were cool/interesting.

Yeah Berkeley just finished another study on that i think in 2022 also

Quantum Physics in a Leaf? Scientists Discover Link Between Photosynthesis and the “Fifth State of Matter”

UChicago researchers hope "islands" of exciton condensation could pave the way for new discoveries. Inside a lab, scientists marvel at a strange state that forms when they cool down atoms to nearly absolute zero. Meanwhile, just outside their window, trees are absorbing sunlight and converting it
