Convierten energía solar en combustible líquido

Convierten energía solar en combustible líquido

Un equipo de investigadores de la Universidad de Harvard, EE.UU., logró recientemente modificar la composición de una bacteria para producir combustible líquido a partir de energía solar.

Las bases del estudio, publicado en la revista ‘Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences’, señalan la creación de un sistema que se sirve de una bacteria modificada genéticamente para convertir la…

Scientists now able to convert sunlight into liquid fuel

Scientists now able to convert sunlight into liquid fuel

MEXICO: Renewal energy had its own shining star when in 2011, Daniel Nocera invented the artificial leaf. By harnessing the sun’s energy using silicon, he was able to split water molecules. He theorized that it was possible to create a liquid fuel.

The world’s dependence on fossil fuels and nuclear power could easily become a thing of the past if someone could figure out a cost-effective and…

Dr. Daniel G. Nocera - A Solution to the Global Energy Challenge [78 min.]

Using his uniquely humorous style, Dr. Nocera teaches us the principles of energy generation and shows us a real light at the end of this dark tunnel we're in - and it is as simple as light and water, even waste water. If you didn't get to go to MIT, here's your chance to be schooled by a master. Nocera made this discovery in 2009 and he's sharing it freely with the world (although MIT owns the patent). His students are already inventing machines applying this science in various ways - and as he says, "This is the way science works!"
