Sony is one of the world's leading electronics firms, making a host of products, including TVs, stereos, DVD players, batteries, cameras and computer monitors. Sony researchers are presently developing Direct Methanol Fuel Cell technology, with a view to using miniature fuel cells in electronics devices in the future. In August 2001 Sony revealed that its scientists had developed a technology to downsize fuel cells, by using carbon-cage molecules, called fullerenes, as a conductor in the heart of fuel cells. Sony Frontier Science Laboratories has employed fullerenes to develop a credit-card-sized solid polymer fuel cell that can generate 1.2 volts of electricity without water vapor.
