NOVA scienceNOW: Fuel Cells

Fuel cell researcher, Martin Baucom moderates a discussion of the science of fuel cell research at a Science Café after a screening of *NOVA scienceNOW: Fuel Cells*. Everyone from automakers to environmentalists to politicians is touting hydrogen fuel cell cars as the wave of the future. But just how soon will that wave arrive? Most experts agree that major technological and economic hurdles need to be cleared before these silent, pollution-free automobiles proliferate on the nation's highways. *NOVA scienceNOW*, *NOVA's* new magazine-format miniseries about cutting-edge science produced by WGBH, presents a Science Café to address fuel cell research. This event attempts to demystify the science and encourage discussion in an informal setting. We encourage you to explore the [NOVA scienceNOW](http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/3210/01.html) website for additional information.
