What is the News?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Researchers have developed a new method of harvesting artificial light using organic nanotubes.<\/p>\n

What led to the development of an artificial light-harvesting system?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In nature, plants and photosynthetic bacteria capture sunlight and deliver it to the reaction centre through a cascade of energy and electron transfer steps for its eventual storage in the form of chemical energy. The antenna chromophores in the light-harvesting complexes are precisely aligned into arrays by the surrounding proteins. This in turn allows the energy migration between them in a highly efficient manner.<\/p>\n

Mimicking natural photosynthetic systems and understanding the fundamental processes of energy transfer has gained enormous interest, especially for systems that need energy conversion and storage.<\/p>\n

About the artificial light-harvesting system\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Two Indian scientists carried out experimental and computational investigations on artificial light-harvesting in organic nanotubes derived from the union of an organic fluorescent molecule and a therapeutically important biopolymer. During their experiment, they formed nanotubes with bright greenish-yellow emission.<\/p>\n

Just like the antenna chromophores or pigmented (coloured) membrane-associated vesicles used to perform photosynthesis in bacteria. The nanotubes acted as highly efficient energy donors (antennae) in a system that mimicked the natural photosynthetic process.<\/p>\n

Applications<\/strong>: The energy transfer phenomenon demonstrated in this study is known as FRET (F\u00f6rster resonance energy transfer), which has significant importance in different applications. Such as determination of DNA\/RNA structures, mapping biological membranes, real-time PCR tests, and so on.<\/p>\n

Further, this can be utilized in solar cells, photocatalysis, optical sensors, and tunable multi-color light-emitting materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
