Pulling Energy Out of Thin Air: The Sky is the Limit for Hydrogen-Based Clean Energy

Finding ways to produce clean energy and sources that generate green electricity tend to be complex, long-winded, and generally not as easy as simply pulling energy out of thin air. Yet, a group of researchers in Australia has demonstrated just that after discovering an enzyme that can quite literally convert air into energy.
