‘Giant leap’ for clean energy

Inspired by the photosynthesis performed by plants, MIT scientists have developed a process that uses the sun’s energy 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.
