It\u2019s gross green goo that collects in still water\u2026and can possibly make our future greener, too. Researchers are finding weird and unique ways to turn living algae into solar panels and hydrogen farms. So how exactly can algae do all this? And will they end up on our plate of choices for renewables anytime soon?
