Plants give up their secret of splitting water
Washington D.C. - Researchers said on Thursday they had taken another step toward understanding how plants split water into hydrogen and oxygen atoms — which may provide a cheap way to produce clean-burning hydrogen fuel.
Producing hydrogen from water is the stuff of science fiction — and some comments by US President George W Bush. But the team at Imperial College London and Japan Science and Technology Corp. in Yokohama said they had taken the best pictures yet of the plant structures that do it every day.
