(University of Calgary) University of Calgary chemists Jeff Hurd and George Shimizu have taken the science behind a specific type of fuel cell towards a higher level of design.

They have discovered a new material that allows a PEM fuel cell, known as a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell, to work at a higher temperature.

This discovery is extremely important in terms of increasing the efficiency and decreasing the cost of PEM fuel cells.
