Chemist Heinz Langhals experimentally refuted the generally accepted theory of the transfer of light energy using
When light meets matter, such assunlight that falls on the surface of the Earth - it is mostly absorbed and quickly converted into heat. However, in some cases, light energy is also transferred between molecular structures. For example, when a pigment excited by light transfers energy to another pigment. An example of this process is photosynthesis.
In numerous technological developmentsthis energy transfer is used. The theory of this process was developed 70 years ago by the physicist-chemist Theodor Förster. According to Förster Resonant Energy Transfer (FRET), light energy is transmitted without radiation via resonance through small molecular dipole antennas, i.e. via electromagnetic interactions. However, the new study is changing the scientific community's understanding of this process.
