Episode Synopsis

In this episode of the “Stories from the NNI” podcast, Dan Nocera, the Patterson Rockwood Professor of Energy at Harvard University, describes how he and his team have developed a nanostructured device, called an artificial leaf, which works like a leaf by using sunlight to split water into hydrogen and oxygen; then, the hydrogen can be used to generate renewable fuel.   If you would like to learn more about nanotechnology, go to nano.gov or email us at [email protected]. CREDITS Special thanks to:  Dan NoceraHarvard University Produced by:Andrew Pomeroy Music:  Inspirational Outlook by Scott Holmes  https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Sc...https://creativecommons.org/licenses/... Any opinions, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this podcast are those of the guest and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office or United States Government.
