And certainly an important topic at this point in time. Truthfully, these are the types of articles I like to see floating around. There needs to be more attention placed on energy issues, and I always argue that human beings do surprisingly wonderful things/make surprisingly difficult discoveries when placed in tight situations. So, I do honestly think there has to be an efficient way to hone in on solar power, beyond the minimum that we use now. Taking cues from plants who live off of "solar power" seems like quite an intelligent concept. Curious to see what comes of this--a solar revolution would be great!]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2008/oxygen-0731.html Sat, 15 Aug 2009 03:25:00 -0700 http://dolphinbliss.stumbleupon.com/review/35265036/ dolphinbliss - Storing energy from the sun, for later use. From the page: "Inspired by the photosynthesis performed by plants, .. 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."]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2008/oxygen-0731.html Fri, 03 Jul 2009 03:26:27 -0700 http://davidjohns.stumbleupon.com/review/34088320/ DavidJohns - 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.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2008/oxygen-0731.html Sun, 25 Jan 2009 14:01:27 -0800 http://martinsikora.stumbleupon.com/review/29603890/ martinsikora - 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.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2008/oxygen-0731.html Wed, 14 Jan 2009 19:43:47 -0800 http://timethief.stumbleupon.com/review/29288000/ timethief - 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.

With today's announcement, MIT researchers have hit upon a simple, inexpensive, highly efficient process for storing solar energy.
