MIT’s Expert Uses Ultrafast Spectroscopy to Study Events Occurring Femtoseconds to Nanoseconds

Chlorophyll in plants, during photosynthesis, absorbs photons (energy) from the sun. This energy is transferred to other chlorophyll molecules organized by protein scaffolds and funneled into the next stage of photosynthesis. The early light-harvesting stages of photosynthesis involve repeated excitation of pigments. MIT Associate Professor Gabriela Schlau-Cohen used ultrafast spectroscopy to capture these highly dynamic […]
