Inspired by the photosynthesis performed by plants, Nocera and Matthew Kanan, a postdoctoral fellow in Nocera's lab, have developed an unprecedented process that will allow the sun's energy to be used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen gases.

as of yet we do not have a very efficient way of storing solar power, something that we need to improve fast to power not only homes, but cars and trucks too. Any step in that direction is ok in my book.

From the page: "In a revolutionary leap that could transform solar power from a marginal, boutique alternative into a mainstream energy source, MIT researchers have overcome a major barrier to large-scale solar power: storing energy for use when the sun doesn't shine. "

From the page: "Inspired by the photosynthesis performed by plants, Nocera and Matthew Kanan, a postdoctoral fellow in Nocera's lab, have developed an unprecedented process that will allow the sun's energy to be used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen gases. Later, the oxygen and hydrogen may be recombined inside a fuel cell, creating carbon-free electricity to power your house or your electric car, day or night."

'Major discovery' from MIT primed to unleash solar revolution! Scientists mimic essence of plants' energy storage system This is truly exciting! A safe, inexpensive method of generating hydrogen directly from solar energy! Woo hoo!
