Hydrogen Solar and it's Tandem Cell technology was selected as one of the 50 most promising technologies by the editors of Scientific American magazine in its 4th annual salute to innovation.

Hydrogen Solar was listed in 10th place, while Michael Graetzel, co-invventor of the Tandem Cell and Scientific Advisor to the company was listed 9th place. Below is the overall summary of the article, followed by a link to a pdf download.

Flu preparedness, flexible electronics and stem cells all star in our fourth annual salute to the research, business and policy leaders of technology  

New technologies appear all the time. Right at this moment scientists are laboring away on the Herculean task of making an artificial cell, a challenge that for the first nine tenths of the 20th century many biologists would have dismissed as an impossibility. Just as important as new invention, though, is the translation of ingenuity into practice. This year's SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN 50 represents a testament to pragmatism. Many of the reports that have wowed the public on advances in nanotechnology or stems cells, to name just two, have taken a big step from graduate-level research toward becoming items for purchase at Wal-Mart or routine therapies at your local hospital. A Korean researcher gained worldwide attention by achieving a 10-fold improvement in the number of stem cell lines derived from cloned human embryos. Japanese investigators created a solar cell that both generates and stores electricity. For the fourth year, the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN 50 recognizes people, teams and organizations whose recent accomplishments, whether in research, business or policymaking, demonstrate leadership in shaping both established and emerging technologies.
