Algae's solar electrons hijacked to steal power - tech - 17 March 2010 - New Scientist: "May lead to a more efficient exploitation of photosynthesis to power machines: with biofuels we are already converting solar power into a form that engines can use, but almost three-quarters of the sunlight energy absorbed by the organisms is lost before it can be turned into the sugars or starches used to make biofuels."
