These chemical engineers seemed to have found a way to take water from humid air and sunlight and convert it into hydrogen, which can be used as a fuel or another resource. 

 

“EPFL chemical engineers have invented a solar-powered artificial leaf, built on a novel electrode which is transparent and porous, capable of harvesting water from the air for conversion into hydrogen fuel. The semiconductor-based technology is scalable and easy to prepare.”
