Researchers engineer photosynthetic bacteria to produce hydrogen
The price of photovoltaic power has plunged, making it competitive with fossil fuel-powered electrical generation. But there is still a range of applications, like ships and aircraft, where electrical power doesn't help much. And storing the electricity produced by solar power so that it can be used at night remains an unsolved problem. For those…

The hydrogen fuel technique behind Nikola’s truck dream
Ars makes every effort to cover its own travel costs. To attend Nikola's conference, we covered the flight out to Scottsdale, Arizona, but Nikola covered one night in a nearby hotel. SCOTTSDALE, Arizona—The Nikola Motor Company wants to reinvent trucking by replacing diesel heavy-duty trucks with hydrogen fuel cell trucks. But hydrogen skeptics are numerous,…
New Process Might Change Seawater Into Hydrogen Fuel In Expense Effective...
Researchers have demonstrated a new method for making hydrogen fuel directly from ocean water, skipping the costly water purification part of the process. By running an electrical current through water, it's possible to separate it into oxygen and hydrogen, the latter of which can be used as a reliable, zero-emission source of fuel. Previously, a key part of the method…
