Quantum Coherence Found Fueling Photosynthesis 135
A user writes "Ars Technica has posted an interesting article about new findings regarding quantum physics and photosynthesis. Their excerpt for the article: 'Physicists have found the strongest evidence yet of quantum effects fueling photosynthesis. Multiple experiments in recent years have suggested as much, but it has been hard to be sure. Quantum effects were clearly present in the light-harvesting antenna proteins of plant cells, but their precise role in processing incoming photons remained unclear.' Here's a little background info for those unaware of what coherence and quantum coherence are."
I see what you did there... (Score:1, Funny)
"hard to be sure"
Ha! Who would have guessed - uncertainty in quantum mechanics!

Your solar panels will be green, and smell vaguely like broccoli, with little graphene wires. You may have to water them.

That would be a sine his understanding was not in phase with the article.

What's really impressive is that plants started using quantum effects before there were any cats.
