Solar Power: Do we exploit nature or can we do better? | Lars Jeuken | TEDxUniversityofLeeds

A fascinating look into the world of solar research and the different avenues being explored to provide sustainable energy in the future.

Dr Lars Jeuken is researching redox-active membrane
proteins and biological electron transfer as part of the
school of biomedical sciences. His research aims to control
the interaction between biological macromolecules and
inorganic 'solid' surfaces. Practical applications for this
research include producing Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC's)
and improving their power output through the use of
nanotechnology as well as a novel biotechnology that will
harness solar energy using a new biological synthetic
approach. His research is featured in over 50 publications.
