Solar energy harvesting mechanisms of the frustules of #Nitzschia filiformis diatoms https://opg.optica.org/ome/fulltext.cfm?uri=ome-12-12-4665&id=521854

Shells of #Diatoms are covered in holes that respond to light differently depending on their size, spacing and configuration. A better understanding of how these #protists / #algae harvest and interact with light could lead to improved #SolarCells, sensing devices, optical components.
