If humans wanted to hack our own cells to do photosynthesis, researchers say, we might use a similar mechanism. When it comes to tapping the sun's energy, humans have spent a billion years moving in the wrong evolutionary direction. read more

Clearly, humans exploit light. I've described a water-mediated mechanism by which light energy gets transformed to other kinds of energy. The process bears some resemblance to photosynthesis, or at least the initial step of photosynthesis, in which light splits water into positive and negative components. read more

Humans have to grow, hunt, and gather food, but many living things aren’t so constrained. Plants, algae and many species of bacteria can make their own sustenance through the process of photosynthesis. read more
