Researchers at Kansas State University (Yiqun Yang, Jun Li, and Ryszard Jankowiak) and University of North Texas (Habtom B. Gobeze and Francis D'Souza) demonstrate harvesting sun light using artificial photosynthesis in a nanoscale forest in article 1600371. The performance of a “green” biosolar cell consisting of photosynthesis light‐harvesting complex sensitizers on TiO 2 nanotrees is substantially enhanced by incorporating only ≈1 wt% plasmonic nanoparticles.
