I thought SOFC scientists are supposed to demonstrate results that do not include Pt and hydrogen as the fuel. Otherwise you might as well consider the PEM fuel cell as a contender for alternative energy solutions. It's sad that this is the best thing Harvard has claimed in the field of SOFCs... which it is not.
