Editorial:
As depicted in ancient Greek mythology, Prometheus couldn't bear the sight of humanity struggling in the darkness, crafted a long reed, and took the risk of approaching the sun to steal fire. He fearlessly brought this light to the world, defying what Zeus had ordered the gods not to do. His brave act ushered in the dawn of civilization for mankind. In this issue of "Light People", Professor Rui Wang is invited to share stories about his adventures in improving perovskite solar cells for the full utilization of sunlight in daily lives, much like Prometheus bringing the gift of light to humanity. Perovskite solar cells hold great potential for both civilian applications and commercial purposes, such as rooftop solar panels, solar chargers, and solar-powered vehicles.

Photons
A photon is a discrete electromagnetic particle or bundle of energy. Photons are characterized by their frequency, wavelength, and amplitude, similar to the properties of a wave. Waves with higher frequencies transmit more energy and have shorter wavelengths than longer wavelengths that transmit...
Photosystem I
Both these photosystems work in concert. An excited electron from PSII is relayed to PSI via an electron transport chain in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast, which is comprised of the carrier molecule plastoquinone, the dual-protein cytochrome complex, and plastocyanin. As electrons move between PSII and PSI, they lose energy and must be re-energized...
