Scientists have developed a new solar paint technology that uses sunlight to split water molecules to produce hydrogen. The paint can absorb water vapor in the air because it contains a substance like the silica gel packs that are used to keep moisture out of items like medicines and electronics. The hydrogen can be used in fuel cells to generate electricity. With this technology, any place that has water vapor in the air, even remote areas far from water, can produce electricity. Watch the video here about this new breakthrough.
