Photosynthetic bacteria, algae, and plants convert solar energy into biochemical fuel via light-harvesting complexes comprised of proteins and pigments. Pigments absorb photons by exciting electron-hole pairs that move readily to other pigments. How biology utilizes such quantum processes at room temperature to achieve efficiency of energy transfer is of interest to physicists. This article reviews computational and spectroscopic advances in understanding the energy conversion and energy transport of such a magnificent nanorectenna.
