|  Nanotrees harvest the sun's energy to turn water into hydrogen fuel San Diego CA (SPX) Mar 09, 2012 University of California, San Diego electrical engineers are building a forest of tiny nanowire trees in order to cleanly capture solar energy without using fossil fuels and harvest it for hydrogen fuel generation. Reporting in the journal Nanoscale, the team said nanowires, which are made from abundant natural materials like silicon and zinc oxide, also offer a cheap way to deliver hydrogen fuel on a mass scale. "This is a clean way to generate clean fuel," said Deli Wang, professor in the ... read more | . |   |
