Cephalopod chromatophores contain photosensitizing nanostructures that may facilitate light sensing and signaling in the skin
Source abstract
Abstract
The photoexcited charge transfer properties of cephalopod chromatophore granules are examined within a photovoltaic cell. Photoconversion efficiency up to 0.81 ± 0.14% is recorded, highlighting a new function for these unique biomaterials.
