Cyanobacteria and red-algae share a common light-harvesting complex which is different
than all other complexes that serve as photosynthetic antennas–the Phycobilisome (PBS) …

Photosynthesis begins when a network of pigment–protein complexes captures solar energy
and transports it to the reaction center, where charge separation occurs. When necessary …

Photosynthetic organisms adapt to changing light conditions by manipulating their light
harvesting complexes. Biophysical, biochemical, physiological and genetic aspects of these …

Environment-assisted quantum transport (ENAQT) is the possibility of an external
environment to enhance transport efficiency of quantum particles. This idea has generated …

Under physiological conditions, ballistic long-range transfer of electronic excitations in
molecular aggregates is generally expected to be suppressed by noise and dissipative …

The transport properties of disordered systems are known to depend critically on
dimensionality. We study the diffusion coefficient of a quantum particle confined to a lattice …

Biological desert sand crusts are the foundation of desert ecosystems, stabilizing the sands
and allowing colonization by higher order organisms. The first colonizers of the desert sands …

Microtubules are biological protein polymers with critical and diverse functions. Their
structures share some similarities with photosynthetic antenna complexes, particularly in the …

Excitonic organic materials owe their tunable optoelectronic properties to intricate
microscopic configurations, challenging for conventional characterization methods to …

Photosynthetic light harvesting is the first step in harnessing sunlight toward biological
productivity. To operate efficiently under a broad and dynamic range of environmental …
