Plant wipes green "sunscreen"

mainly plants collect solar energy through protein-binding curing molecules. In photoresody, the collection of light energy begins by absorbing sunlight.
the scientific concept of complex networks, which explore the efficient operation of cell phone networks, brains and power grids. The model describes a simple network that can input two different colors of light while outputing stable solar power. This narrow input produces significant results.
models show that photochemical organisms may automatically protect themselves from sudden changes in solar energy by absorbing light of a particular color. "Green plants are green and purple bacteria are purple because they absorb only certain areas of the spectrum that are suitable for protecting themselves against rapidly changing solar energy." Gabor said.
Gabor first thought of studying photocomsonal use more than a decade ago, when he was a doctoral student at Cornell University. He wanted to know why plants rejected green light, which was the strongest sunlight. Over the years, he has worked with physicists and biologists around the world to learn more about statistical methods and quantum biology theory for photosynthres.
study's co-collaborator, Richard Cogdell, a botanist at the University of Glasgow in the UK, encouraged Gabor to extend the model to a wider range of photochemical organisms that grow in very different environments of the incoming solar spectrum.
, the researchers demonstrated that the model could also work in photochemical organisms other than green plants, and that the model determined the general and basic properties of photoreses. Studies have shown that this information can be used to improve the performance of solar cells by selecting the location of solar energy absorption based on the incoming solar spectrum to minimize the noise output.
researchers say plants and other photochemical organisms have a variety of strategies to prevent damage caused by excessive exposure to the sun, from the molecular mechanisms of energy release to the leaf tracking the physical motion of the sun. Plants have even developed effective protection against UV rays, just like sunscreen.
Gabor added that photochem cooperation can be thought of as a kitchen sink, with taps putting water in and drains letting it out. If the amount of water flowing in is much larger than the amount of water flowing out, the water will overflow and spill everywhere. Similarly, in photocalithing, if the inflow of solar energy is much greater than the outflow, the photocalithing network must adapt to the sudden excess energy. When the network can't control these fluctuations, the organism tries to drain excess energy. In this process, the machine experiences oxidative stress, which destroys the cells.
next, the researchers will design a new microscope technology to test their ideas and use quantum optics tools to advance optical biology experiments. "Nature has a lot to learn, and when we lift its mystery, it becomes more beautiful," Gabor said. For
