Finding an alternative to burning fossil fuels has to be one of the single largest issues facing our world's scientists today. Cleaner, cheaper fuel may not be able to bring world peace, but it would be a major step towards staving off an environmental and/or political apocalypse. It's surprising, then, that we haven't heard more about the research at Air Fuel Synthesis, a British engineering company that claims to have discovered a way to refine cleaner-burning fuel using only water and air.

Cloud storage is the future, that's what every tech company, media outlet, and anyone who generally cares about technology has been saying for the last couple of years now. From Netflix to Amazon, from Microsoft to Google, every company's falling over themselves to provide users access to as much data as they possibly can online. Cloud storage is by far the most convenient way to get access to any type of file you could every want, but that amount of freedom doesn't come without a cost. According to The New York Times, most data centers waste a whopping 90 percent of the energy they pull from the power grid.
