Scientists in Cambridge achieve the long-standing goal of reproducing photosynthesis in a laboratory, splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using only the power of sunlight. Stuart McDill reports.

The breakthrough centers on two engineered materials that use visible light to convert water and oxygen into hydrogen peroxide, offering a cleaner alternative to the longstanding, waste-intensive ...

Cornell scientists have discovered a potentially transformative approach to manufacturing one of the world's most widely used ...

Some of the biggest challenges with sending humans to distant planets like Mars comes in being able to get enough fuel, water, and oxygen onto the spacecraft and habitats needed to support humans.

Nanoptek has developed a solar-powered electrolyzer that creates hydrogen from water and sunlight, which it hopes can one day be used for grid storage. Martin LaMonica is a senior writer covering ...

Splitting hydrogen and oxygen from water using conventional electrolysis techniques requires considerable amounts of electrical energy. But green plants produce oxygen from water efficiently using a ...

The electrolytic film produced at Rice and tested at Houston is a three-layer structure of nickel, graphene and a compound of iron, manganese and phosphorus. The foamy nickel gives the film a large ...

Discovery of an efficient artificial catalyst for the sunlight-driven splitting of water into oxygen and hydrogen is a major goal of renewable clean energy research. Scientists have devised a unique ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have created a small scale “hydrogen generator” that uses light and a two-dimensional graphene platform ...

Researchers at the University of Adelaide announced this week that they made clean hydrogen fuel from seawater without pre-treatment. Demand for hydrogen fuel, a clean energy source that only produces ...

Hydrogen generators have been talked about in both positive and negative light over the past few years (particularly on the Internet), so 8-Lug wanted to get an idea of just what was involved and see ...
