Ken Robinson discusses education at TEDTalks.

“No one has a clue about what the world will look like in 5 years, yet we’re educating our children for it… Creativity is as important in education as literacy and we should treat it with the same status.”

From Technology Review: Sun + Water = Fuel

With catalysts created by an MIT chemist, sunlight can turn water into
hydrogen. If the process can scale up, it could make solar power a
dominant source of energy.

Storing energy from the sun by mimicking photosynthesis is something
scientists have been trying to do since the early 1970s. In particular,
they have tried to replicate the way green plants break down water.
Chemists, of course, can already split water. But the process has
required high temperatures, harsh alkaline solutions, or rare and
expensive catalysts such as platinum. What Nocera has devised is an
inexpensive catalyst that produces oxygen from water at room
temperature and without caustic chemicals–the same benign conditions
found in plants. Several other promising catalysts, including another
that Nocera developed, could be used to complete the process and
produce hydrogen gas.
