More Bad Writing

Definitely not clear! Misleading, even! After several headlines saying essentially the same thing, here’s a quote from the main article:

A team of researchers from the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) has discovered a new method that makes it possible to transform electricity into hydrogen or chemical products by solely using microwaves – without cables and without any type of contact with electrodes.

Really? Use microwaves to create hydrogen atoms out of electricity without using anything but the microwaves? Farther into the article, we figure out that the microwaves are beamed at something; microwaves are the only tool used to changed the material. I think:

The technology developed and patented by the UPV and CSIC is based on the phenomenon of the microwave reduction of solid materials, in this study exemplified by the reduction of Cerium oxide. 

Okay, class, re-write that sentence so it’s clearer. Here’s a picture of the scientists; apparently not the writer.
