Well the rise of the Skynet seemed eminent, as more and more advancement in our technology reaches somewhat surreal, to the point that robots do not need lithium batteries in order to operate. Neither does our lights.

As what some ‘gurus’ at University of Birmingham hope for, and is hard researching now, we might be able to use a better source of clean energy in the future. Not that near thought. What they’ve managed to do, is to pinpoint Hydrogenase enzymes and BioPd in their research, which they believe can be used as catalysts for the treatment of persistent pollutants. I’m not sure how this works, but I guess they have their method. A hydrogenase enzyme can be used to catalyses the reversible oxidation of molecular hydrogen (H2), and they play a vital role in anaerobic metabolism. So what they means is that ‘hydrogenase enzyme’ can be used to develop a new method, or technology that will provide a simple one-step module to convert metallic wastes into high value catalysts for green chemistry and clean energy generation. What sort of energy that they might create, is still dependant of the metallic waste. Well hopefully with this technology, we will eliminate the possibility of the world that Wall-E vision-ed.
