Silicon Nanoparticles Could Lead To On-Demand Hydrogen Generation 163
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."

I wasn't having an illegal campfire on the beach. It was the sand reacting with the seawater.

That's some serious R&D by the whoopie cushion industry.

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