August 11, 2011 - The best use of the sun's energy is to make hydrogen, according to a Duke University researcher.

Engineer Nico Hotz earlier this week detailed results from his research around a rooftop solar panel that generates hydrogen from the sun's heat. The hydrogen gas--which is made by breaking off hydrogen atoms from a water solution--can be stored and used to make electricity in a fuel cell. read more>>>
