Relating to or combining chemical and light-based reactions or processes.
From chemi- (chemistry) + -photic (from Greek photos, light). This is a more specialized scientific term describing processes that involve both chemical and photonic elements.
Chemiphotic reactions are crucial in photosynthesis—plants use light energy to trigger chemical reactions that convert CO2 into sugar; it's where physics, chemistry, and biology all meet on a molecular level!
