Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Japanese scientists have developed a new means of cracking water into hydrogen fuel using sunlight. Using a special photocatalyst, ...

A catalyst design developed in the lab of Professor Ted Sargent increases efficiency, turning captured CO₂ into high-purity ethylene for plastics and packaging.

In the future, we could fuel the world with sunlight and water – using sunlight to derive hydrogen fuel from H2O. Currently, most hydrogen that’s used as feedstock and fuel is derived from natural gas ...
