Cracking discovery: Japan scientist uses egg white for clean energy Listen

Yusuke Yamada, a professor at Osaka City University, said his team has managed to use protein from egg white as a "tool" for producing hydrogen, a powerful source of clean electricity.
The new method "brings us closer to our ultimate goal of producing hydrogen from water," Yamada told AFP.
When it reacts with oxygen, hydrogen produces electricity, releasing only water and heat in the process.

The change brought a sense of traffic control to the molecular interactions and improved the efficiency of clean, hydrogen production, Yamada said.
