Splitting Water With Sunlight?
Scientists in Australia have succeeded in using plain sunlight to split water into oxygen and hydrogen. They are proud to have re-created a process in the laboratory that nature has evolved over 3 billion years. It is thus the latest instance of innovation embracing nature.
Scientists have isolated hydrogen and oxygen in such environments before but it has tended to take more than sunlight and 1.2 volts of electricity in the past. This new and improved process means that hydrogen can be produced cheaply and extensively on a commercial scale.
The finding may just revolutionize the renewable energy industry. Hydrogen has immense potential has a clean and efficient fuel and the easier it is to generate, the better.

Moonstruck: Looking for Ice, But None So Far
By: Jhaszachery
NASA's LCROSS mission went plunging into a permanently shadowed crater near the moon's south pole this morning -- an empty rocket stage, followed four minutes later by a small satellite to see if the rocket kicked up ice in the lunar soil. Did it find any? NASA could not, at least for now, say. "We're not going to make any claims ...
