An international gang of biologists has carried out an audacious heist, stealing valuable electrons from photosynthesising algae.
The power grab could open a route to more efficient exploitation of photosynthesis to power machines: with biofuels we are already converting solar power into a form that engines can use, but almost three-quarters of the sunlight energy absorbed by the organisms is lost before it can be turned into the sugars or starches used to make biofuels
