'At first, we thought we'd made a mistake: it took a while for us to convince ourselves that we'd done it.'

- the natural machine that fuels most life on Earth - to produce clean fuels from sunshine and water to alleviate the climate problem.Now, an international team led by the University of Cambridge studied photosynthesis in live cells at an ultrafast timeframe of a millionth of a millionth of a second.

Little did they know that we were about to unearth an entirely new photosynthetic electron transfer pathway. "Since the electrons from photosynthesis are dispersed through the whole system, that means we can access them," said co-first author Dr. Laura Wey."The fact that we didn't know this pathway existed is exciting because we could be able to harness it to extract more energy for renewables," she explained.

Besides this, the capacity to control photosynthesis might increase crops' tolerance for intense sunshine.
