this is significant because, generally, fuel cells are on the cusp of becoming mainstream within the next decade or so. in this case, the solid oxide fuel cell is made via 3D printing with a mathematically optimized geometry to maximize surface area (of the cathode/anode).
SOFCs can run on a couple of fuel to produce electricity, from hydrogen to biogas.
How do SOFCs work? >
and with a SOFC equipped electric vehicle (EV), you then have better range, F1 pitstop refuel times, and lighter vehicle mass (your tires will last longer, still dependent on driving styles, but you get the idea...)
here's one company that is making SOFC a potentially compelling proposition >

What are Solid Oxide Fuel Cells? How Do They Work?
A solid oxide fuel cell is an electrochemical conversion device that generates power directly by oxidizing a fuel. Learn more about their uses.
