Unlocking More Energy: Photosynthesis Leak Discovered in Plants

Scientists have discovered a new way to extract an electrical charge from plants at the best possible point in photosynthesis, which could revolutionize sustainable fuels and fight climate change. The discovery of the new, leaky pathway could also have major implications for the production of renewable biofuels, typically derived from plants or algae. The breakthrough essentially promises to harness more of the incredible efficiency of photosynthesis when it comes to turning sunlight into energy.
