Beatty的研究是为了提高我们对光合作用蛋白质如何将光能转化为电能的基本方面的理解，并与Madden合作，利用这种改进的理解来建造一种在实际应用中收集阳光的设备。我们已经在实验室中创造了一个原型装置，这个装置以高效率运行来捕获和存储光能，并将其转化为电流。有几种方法可以改进这个初始器件，这项研究是为了实验光合作用蛋白质电导的基本方面以及器件制造的应用方面。

Beatty's research is to improve our understanding of basic aspects of how a photosynthetic protein functions to convert light to electrical energy, and in collaboration with Madden to use this improved understanding to build a device to harvest sunlight in practical applications. We have already created a prototype device in the laboratory, and this device operates at high efficiency to capture and store light energy, which is converted to an electrical current. There are several ways in which this initial device could be improved, and this research is to experiment on basic aspects of photosynthetic protein electrical conductance as well as applied aspects of device fabrication.
