Quantum Mechanics Involved In Photosynthesis 137

Kristina at Science News writes "We all learn about photosynthesis in school: sunlight in, plant food out. Not well understood is how this process achieves its initial and uniquely high efficiency in capturing the energy of a photon. Quantum mechanics may be at work in the electron transfer process inside chloroplast, giving electrons the chance to consider many paths at once before choosing the best one."

Also, I don't hang my hat on being straight - do you really need to point out that you're gay in your xbox profile? I mean... really? I don't think you should be banned for doing it, but I think it's a little odd.

It's no more odd than mentioning hobbies and interests that aren't related to gaming. I mean that's the purpose of profiles isn't it? Talking about the things that distinguish you from everyone else?

This question often comes up on forums like Gamedev.net, and the answer is always the same. Nobody wants to buy game ideas, from you or anyone else. Ideas are a dime a dozen, and there is too much legal difficulty involved in even looking at someones idea. Developers would much rather work on their own ideas (of which they have many) than take on someone else's.
