Unusual (and fun!) Date Ideas. MIT's artificial leaf is ten times more efficient than the real thing. Speaking at the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society in California, MIT professor Daniel Nocera claims to have created an artificial leaf, made from stable and inexpensive materials, which mimics nature's photosynthesis process.

The device is an advanced solar cell, no bigger than a typical playing card, which is left floating in a pool of water. Then, much like a natural leaf, it uses sunlight to split the water into its two core components, oxygen and hydrogen, which are stored in a fuel cell to be used when producing electricity. Nocera's leaf is stable -- operating continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity in preliminary tests -- and made of widely available, inexpensive materials -- like silicon, electronics and chemical catalysts. It's also powerful, as much as ten times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural leaf. Those are impressive claims, but they're also not just pie-in-the-sky, conceptual thoughts.

Money is tight anymore. Between a recession that we are all tired of hearing about, low amounts of jobs and high unemployment, we should all be saving our money. But we are going to be equally, if not more, bored when we are poor as we are when we have enough money to spare for luxuries and hobbies. You may not have enough money for the Nintendo Wii, you may be a few dollars short to go to the theatre and see a movie, maybe you are using most of your paycheck to fill up your car, so you can go to work, so you can get a paycheck that is just enough to fill up your car for the commute to work.
