Abstract

This chapter will briefly treat applications of ideas related to ET in areas of practical and theoretical interest. We have already alluded to the importance of ET in the chemical fixation of solar energy, where we want to improve upon Nature’s biological mechanisms in order to secure a long-lasting supply of energy. This represents a great challenge to the chemist, although it does not exactly reflect a humble mind! Of course, this task logically connects to biological ET, an immense area of research which relates to the contents of this book by a mutual transfer of ideas that will hopefully contribute to the growth of a common knowledge base.
