Nice Guys Finish First

(YouTube link)

You’ve heard the phrase “Nice guys finish last” all your life. It turns out the phrase was coined by someone who was looking for an excuse to be not-so-nice. Science says otherwise, as we learn in this video from AsapSCIENCE. Yes, scientists have actually done experiments that translate to this. Wise folks have always known that no matter what your accomplishments are or how much wealth you accumulate, you will ultimately be judged on how you treat others. -via Viral Viral Videos

In a one-off encounter, nice guy finishes last. But in the real world, that's not the case most of the time. Like the clip said, we live in a society where we see the same people over and over again, so it makes sense to cooperate.

It does not mimic photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is the use of sunlight to convert CO2 into organic compounds (like sugar).

It uses sunlight to accomplish a completely different task - harvesting hydrogen from water. The process is known as photoelectrolysis.

Couldn't they have just done the "stick 2 wires in a lemon" -thing?
:D :P

The real breakthrough would be direct Photocatalysis, the HolyGrail that has been eluding us since it was first described in 1967, known as the Honda/Fujisawa effect. UV light illuminating a Titania cathode connected externally to a platinum anode in water first hydrolyzed water. O2 at the titania electrode and H at the platinum electrode. This looks like self promotion of a more efficient electrolysis for ARPA-E funding.
