He had proven Einstein's 119-year-old theory!
A Turkish professor has developed the technology of the century: Sunless farming is beginning.
A faculty member of the Physics Department at Elazığ Fırat University, Dr. Yakuphanoğlu, continues to gain attention with his groundbreaking work in the scientific community. He has developed a technology that allows plants to be grown using artificial photons without the need for sunlight, paving the way for urban agriculture.
Prof. Dr. Fahrettin Yakuphanoğlu recently proved Albert Einstein’s photon theory, which was proposed in 1905 and earned Einstein a Nobel Prize as one of the greatest physicists of all time. This theory posits that light spreads in packets of energy called photons and explains how light can eject electrons from a material’s surface through the photoelectric effect.
By proving this photon theory 119 years later, Prof. Dr. Fahrettin Yakuphanoğlu has garnered significant attention in the scientific community. He has recently developed a new generation of photosynthesis-active flux devices and systems. This innovative system allows for accelerating plant growth and increasing efficiency using artificial photons, without the need for sunlight.
THE TECHNOLOGY OF THE FUTURE CENTURY: ‘PHOTONICS’
Prof. Dr. Fahrettin Yakuphanoğlu, a faculty member of the Physics Department at Fırat University, has developed a high-tech company at Fırat Technopolis where he creates advanced technological products. To prove the photon theory, he produced a nanotechnology system called a ‘quantum particle detector.’ Continuing his research, Prof. Dr. Yakuphanoğlu notes that photonics technology will be the key technology of the future century.
DOMESTIC AND NATIONAL PRODUCTS PRODUCED AND EXPORTED TO 15 COUNTRIES
Prof. Dr. Yakuphanoğlu, who is also the CEO of Fytronix, produces domestic and national products using Fytronix technology and exports them to 15 different countries. He has recently developed a photonics system called the photosynthesis-active flux device.
This device and system, developed domestically and nationally, allow for modern agriculture without the need for sunlight using artificial photons. The advanced technology enables the system to be used not only in rural areas but also in urban environments, affecting the plant growing process and speed.
Prof. Dr. Yakuphanoğlu describes the product as a photonics system, stating, “With this photonics system, agriculture can now be easily conducted in cities. Recently, the importance of agriculture has increased, and therefore, we must now engage in agriculture using domestic and national resources with advanced technology. There are two types of agriculture: horizontal and vertical. Horizontal agriculture is conducted on flat land and soil, while vertical agriculture refers to farming in specific urban areas. When practicing vertical farming in cities, the system used must be efficient in producing quality products. Our developed system, the photosynthesis-active flux, regulates the flow and is designed to improve the efficiency of the growing process.”
Yakuphanoğlu, explaining the system, said, “In this system, you can use artificial photons instead of sunlight for plant production. The photosynthesis-active region in this system is between 400 nanometers and 700 nanometers. By effectively using photons in this range, that is, converting light energy into chemical energy, plant growth can be achieved. The essentials for the photosynthesis process are photons, nutrients, and water. If you want to produce plants in a modern agricultural setting within a city, you can easily adjust the growth rate and speed of plants using the photonics system. By employing high technology in agriculture, we can use photons in such a system to transfer agricultural production to urban areas or design modern agricultural spaces, allowing us to grow our products with domestic and national resources without external dependency.”
