30 September 2004 Solar energy, nanotechnology hike hydrogen
production Nanotechnology is leading the way for a British
company, Hydrogen Solar, to convert light and water directly
into hydrogen fuel. “Hydrogen Solar developed a nanocrystalline
material that will dramatically improve the production of
hydrogen by using solar energy to split water more efficiently
into its elemental parts,” said Dr. David Auty, Hydrogen Solar’s
chief executive. In a move to take full advantage of solar
energy, the company plans to open a laboratory in Las Vegas. The
company is now looking for scientists and engineers to work at
the lab. Hydrogen Solar needs scientists to drive the
development work forward and engineers to participate in the
engineering and design aspects of the Tandem Cell, including
design of the Cell and components for optimized manufacturing,
performance, durability, and safety. Hydrogen Solar
