New R&D is needed to provide the nonlegacy world with the “fast food” equivalent of solar energy—light-weight and highly manufacturable solar capture and storage systems
Daniel G. Nocera
Daniel G. Nocera is the Henry Dreyfus Professor of Energy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Director of the Solar Revolutions Project and Director of the Eni Solar Frontiers Center at MIT. His group studies the basic mechanisms of energy conversion in biology and chemistry. He has accomplished a solar fuels process that captures many of the elements of photosynthesis outside of the leaf. His recent efforts are devoted to bringing personalized, carbon-neutral energy to the poor and those of the non-legacy world.
