Scientists at the University of Chicago have discovered that plants utilize quantum mechanical processes during photosynthesis, acting like a Bose-Einstein condensate, a strange fifth state of matter typically found at ultra-cold temperatures. By forming a condensate, the excitons formed one single quantum state, acting like a single particle, forming a superfluid, allowing energy to flow freely between chromophores. This behavior has never been seen above temperatures of 100 Kelvin, making it surprising to see this behavior in a messy, real-world system at normal temperatures. Room-temperature Bose-Einstein condensates may have practical applications for higher levels of energy efficiency and transfer.
