Circadian clocks regulate the timing of biological functions in almost all higher organisms. Anyone who has flown through several time zones knows the jet lag that can result when this timing is disrupted. Now, new research explains how circadian clocks sense light through a process that transfers energy from light to chemical reactions in cells.

Scientists are eyeing the jet stream, an energy source that rages night and day, 365 days a year, just a few miles above our heads.

The trick is figuring out how to harness the energy and get it down to the ground cost-effectively and safely.
