When hydrogen and oxygen molecules combine, the reaction produces heat and water. Fuel cells harness this reaction to generate electricity. With the cell-phone and gadget market in mind, Medis has developed a fuel cell with cheap components that generates little heat and effortlessly eliminates waste water without resorting to energy-gobbling pumps. One of the attractions of fuel cells is that they can be big enough to run a factory or small enough to fit under the hood of a car. Medis' innovation is a type of micro--fuel cell, a power source that's small enough to slip...

As the U.S. loses productive members of the work force, she notes, more people will turn to public assistance for treatment. And the increased toll in human suffering will be staggering...
