UVM scientists seek answers to fuel cell economy

Abstract:
You might just have solved a big riddle in the search for an economical and environmentally friendly source of hydrogen to power the "fuel cell economy," which is seen by some as a solution for the problems of climate change and oil depletion.

Walter Varhue and a team of scientists at the University of Vermont are delving into the realm of nanotechnology — the science of very tiny things — in hopes of developing the material to make up that membrane.
