Air Could Become The Newest Alternative Energy Source
Boston MA (SPX) Aug 27, 2010
Imagine devices that capture electricity from the air ? much like solar cells capture sunlight ? and using them to light a house or recharge an electric car.

Strange as it may sound, scientists already are in the early stages of developing such devices, according to a report presented here at the 240th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS).
