   ...
   UT biochemist Barry Bruce and his collaborators at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology incorporated a plant's ability to make energy in a solid-state electronic device three years ago.
   
   MIT researchers called it the world's first photosynthetic solid-state solar cell.
   
   The main source of the plant proteins used in the research: spinach.
   
   It's inexpensive, sustainable and readily available, according to Bruce.
   
   His work got him named one of 10 global "Revolutionaries" in the May edition of Forbes magazine. He was listed among "10 People Who Could Change The World."
   
   "I'm one scientist at one university, with five or six people working on this," he said. "This is probably something that's going to take decades."
   
   Since publication he's had several e-mails from people all around the world, sending him ideas and mostly showing support, he said. The magazine article also has been a distraction for Bruce.
   
   "Sustainability is something that people all over the planet are passionate about," he said. "So when they see somebody working on something that might have any hint of a green approach to energy, they get excited."
   
   Bruce, a professor at UT's Center for Environmental Biotechnology, doesn't hype the research.
   
   The solar cell the group fabricated didn't provide enough electricity to fuel any electronic devices, he said.
   
   "There's not enough current there to power anything," said Bruce, 50.
   ...
   Bruce said it's a system that has lot going for it.
   
   "It's completely sustainable, and it can be carbon neutral," he said.
