Scientists from the University of Chicago have discovered a connection between natural photosynthesis and exciton condensates, a frictionless energy state typically observed at extremely low temperatures. The study found that excitons in a leaf can exhibit behavior similar to exciton condensates, potentially enhancing energy transfer and doubling efficiency. This insight could lead to the development of new technologies. The findings also support the idea that local correlation of electrons is crucial in understanding complex processes like photosynthesis.
