– “Greg Scholes on how nature harvests light”
“In July of last year, [Greg] Scholes joined the faculty at the Department of Chemistry at Princeton University as the newest senior hire. His lab is one of the leading groups studying how nature collects light to power fundamental processes like photosynthesis, using both experimental and theoretical techniques.

‘There have been a number of discoveries about how light harvesting works in nature that couldn’t have been guessed with pen and paper,’ Scholes said. By gaining a deeper understanding of how nature captures light and transfers energy, researchers may be able to design more efficient light harvesting devices.

In an article published in the journal Nature in 2010, Scholes and coworkers used ultrafast lasers to probe energy transfer pathways in photosynthetic marine algae,” quoting Princeton University.

– Ramtha on Photosynthesis
“When the caterpillar gives up the past, languishing for the days of heaps of green leaves, is full and content, makes its own bed — no one had to give it to it — makes its own bed and dreams the dream of flight and oriental wings, it is a complete overhaul of what one aerodynamically would need to position itself through gentle breezes and great winds. What would it need to look like aerodynamically? And what would it need to ingest in the form of photosynthesis of sugars? What would be its new fuel? Its fuel would change from the caterpillar to a butterfly. From eating heavy foliage and breaking it down to sugars, it would drink nectar, the golden elixir of the Gods, because aerodynamically it can process those sugars without bulk. And so it just dreamed of flight, and the same DNA that made it a caterpillar, that it was originally born with, allowed it to dream. And the dream without time, distance, and space allowed the body to dissolve the past and reconfigure an aerodynamic creature. Beautiful.
That is so common in nature and you never see it. If you have met a butterfly, you haven’t contemplated it as a messenger. What did this beautiful creature do? That is all you need to wonder and find out and then apply it to yourself.”
