Show Notes

Topic: How to gain access to energy stored in plants by designing biological nanomachines which can efficiently release trapped energy.

Overview: With the continued depletion of fossil fuels the search for new sources of renewable energy are growing ever more urgent. One possible source of energy is the vast repository of carbon found within plant biomass. We aim to gain access to this functionally limitless pool of energy by designing biological nanomachines which can efficiently release their trapped energy
