Silicon Nanoparticles Could Lead To On-Demand Hydrogen Generation

cylonlover writes "Researchers at the University of Buffalo have created spherical silicon nanoparticles they claim could lead to hydrogen generation on demand becoming a 'just add water' affair. When the particles are combined with water, they rapidly form hydrogen and silicic acid, a nontoxic byproduct, in a reaction that requires no light, heat or electricity. In experiments, the hydrogen produced was shown to be relatively pure by successfully being used to power a small fan via a small fuel cell."

If your pathetic genome had better redundancy and error correction you wouldn't care about the radiation.

Oh wook at da poor wittle hue-mans, can't come out an pway in the milky way because them scawed for cosmic rays. Have fun being grounded dork!
