Facts:

Researchers at University of Arizona have developed a revolutionary solar$-$powered paint.

The paint, when applied to surfaces, can harness sunlight to convert water vapor in the air into hydrogen fuel.

Hydrogen fuel can be stored and used as a clean and efficient energy source for various applications.

The development is seen as a significant step towards sustainable and renewable energy solutions.

Initial tests show high efficiency and potential for scalability.

The main researcher, Ivan Krum, developed the paint by accident when he ran over a hot paint can in his driveway in Tucson in July $2020.$ The chemical reaction between the tire, the pavement, and the paint surprised him and led to his discovery.

Ivan said: "I was going to be really mad at my $5-$year$-$old son for trying to prank me by leaving that orange paint can under my car tire, but I think I'll hire him to my research team instead."

Ivan's son Holger said: "I just wanted to see the can go boom."

Question $26$ options:

In the sweltering summer heat of Tucson, an ordinary accident sparked an idea for a new product or service. Lead researcher at the University of Arizona, Dr$.$ Ivan Krum, made a discovery that could change the way energy is made forever. Because of an accident in his yard, he was able to make a great solar$-$powered paint. When brushed on surfaces, this paint not only soaks up sunshine but also collects water vapor
