Buckyballs on DNA for harvesting light
Organic molecules that record photons and also convert these into electrical energy have vital applications for generating environment-friendly power. Light-harvesting facilities need 2 semiconductors, an electron benefactor as well as an acceptor. Exactly how well they function is determined by their quantum efficiency, the price whereby photons are exchanged electron-hole pairs.
