Why don't zombies like hibiscus tea? A multi-subject approach to photosynthesis through the use of Gratzel cells
Issue 334 | Page 71 | Published Sep 2009
Description
Traditionally, photosynthesis has been seen as the domain of biology, with some input from chemistry when dealing with chromatography, while, apart from a passing reference to the colour of leaves, physics has tended to steer clear of the process that provides the lifeblood of human existence. This article outlines how a recent technological advance can be used as a teaching resource in all three branches of science.
