Australian scientists made a world-first discovery to make electricity out of thin air.
Monash University researchers discovered enzyme called Huc, produced by a common bacteria found in soil, which naturally converts hydrogen in air into electricity.
Experiments revealed it's possible to store purified Huc for long periods at freezing temperatures without it losing power to generate electricity.
The enzyme, named Huc, proved to be “astonishingly stable” and incredibly effective at generating “energy from thin air.
Unlike all other known enzymes and chemical catalysts, it uses hydrogen at amounts below atmospheric levels – as little as 0.00005 per cent of the air we breathe.
Experiments showed that purified Huc can be stored for extended amounts of time at freezing temperatures or up to 80 degrees Celsius without losing its ability to produce energy.
