Microbial fuel cells generate an electric current by harvesting the electrons that are produced by the respiration of substrates. Reporting in Biotechnology & Bioengineering, Kato Marcus and ...

diesel fuel (trucking) and natural gas (incineration). To help address some of these core issues, Bretschger said in an interview that "the wastewater produced by manufacturing facilities is often ...

In technical terms, this fungal battery isn’t a battery at all, but a device known as a microbial fuel cell (MFC). MFCs use the metabolism of living things — traditionally bacteria or algae — to ...

Biodegradable battery invented by scientists in Switzerland Fungi, which is the building block of mushrooms, is the core material used The fungi-powered battery generates enough electricity to power ...

A battery that needs feeding instead of charging? This is exactly what Empa researchers have achieved with their 3D-printed, ...

Strictly speaking, the cell is not a battery, but a so-called microbial fuel cell. Like all living things, microorganisms convert nutrients into energy. Microbial fuel cells make use of this ...

Researchers have developed so-called microbial cell factories -- using E. coli and yeast -- to produce a special class of plant hormones, known as strigolactones, at unprecedented levels.

Now it’s time for more efficient AIs to take over. After years of controversy, stem cells are on the cusp of cures for conditions like epilepsy and type 1 diabetes. With a new reasoning model that ...
