Spinach Helps in boosting solar power

         A bunch of researchers from Vanderbilt Univeristy had discovered that a photosynthetic protein with silicon,which's present in the leaves of Spinach, helps us in converting the solar energy to a chemical energy with the 100 % efficiency when compared to the mad made solar cells which will have a loss of 40 %.
        The current level produced by this combination is 1000 times better than placing a protein on any metal.  A couple of decades back, scientist discovered that one of the proteins found in photosynthesis called Photo-system [PS1]  .
         This PS1 helps in converting the solar energy to electrical energy and the main merits of these "bio-hybrid cells" are they were cheap, unlike these micro electronics devices which require rare elements like platinum or indium.
