A class of compounds called porphyrins are involved in the gas transport, catalysis, and light
absorption processes of many animals and plants throughout the world. This natural …

Light-induced microbial electron transfer has potential for efficient production of value-added
chemicals, biofuels and biodegradable materials owing to diversified metabolic pathways …

Quantum mechanics provides the most accurate microscopic description of the world around
us, yet the interface between quantum mechanics and biology is only now being explored …

For inorganic semiconductors crystalline order leads to a band structure which gives rise to
drastic differences to the disordered material. An example is the presence of an indirect …

The design of functional nano-objects by electrostatic self-assembly in solution signifies an
