Interesting!

If they keep this up, the machines may not have to enslave us for use as a power source! :p

Seems to me the methane economy should come before the hydrogen economy. and before that should come the urea/amonia/acetylene/peroxide/propane/LPG economy.

Although its activity doesn't yet match that of platinum, the researchers say it is the first useful biomimetic catalyst capable of operating under fuel cell conditions.

Fouorty five years ago, I drove a mail truck past Varian Aerograph 6 days a week. It was impossible to not notice their readerboard sign that promised "imminent break-throughs in solar cell efficency" that would change the world. There were also regular articles and interviews in the local press beating the same drum.

I'm still waiting, but Varian isn't; they aren't, so far as I can tell, even still in that business---but other keep telling me that any year now, THEY will succeed where Varian failed, and make a truly efficient, cheap, world changing solar cell.

Some decades ago, I also began hearing the same noise about fuel cells.

Several years after that, it was 'turkey guts into oil'.

Some things never change...coal, oil, and nukes WORK, and have for anywhere from 60+ to 200+ years...and so have snake oil salesmen and starry eyed "could, should, maybe, someday" researches in search of grants or patronage.
