Look at reference 1 – it’s an artificial leaf that uses photosynthesis to split water into hydrogen and oxygen which can be used in fuel cells to give power to isolated areas. The fuel cell burns the hydrogen and oxygen to water to provide energy. In a relatively new medical technique, mouse cells are cloned as the basis for a whole range of diseases including cancer and autoimmune diseases. For example, I have a close family member who had idiopathic autoimmune hemolytic anemia, had a month’s treatment with Rituxan a year ago, and whose blood finally
