Bioscience engineers at KU Leuven have created a solar panel that produces hydrogen gas from moisture in the air. If that electric power is used to split the water into hydrogen gas and oxygen, you lose a lot of energy. The KU Leuven bioscience engineers solved this problem by designing a solar panel of 1.6 —Johan Martens.
