Africa's energy trilemma requires solutions that are sufficient, affordable, and sustainable amidst growing demand. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) convert organic waste into clean energy, promising rural ...

Researchers have prototyped sensor-packed robot bugs that mimic biological digestive systems to meet energy needs, employ a Janus interface for a steady supply of nutrients and move on the water's ...

Researchers have found a way to turn plastic waste into clean fuel using nothing but flowing water. By pairing special crystals with methane-producing microbes, they created a self-powered system that ...

In silico analysis of five industrial microorganisms identifies optimal strains and metabolic engineering strategies for producing 235 valuable chemicals. Climate change and the depletion of fossil ...

Sunjoo Lee’s Electric Garden belongs to these practices, using microbial fuel cells, which generate power through the metabolic processes of soil bacteria. Her garden is a whole ecosystem unknowingly ...

If we asked you to think of a device that converts a chemical reaction into electricity, you’d probably say we were thinking of a battery. That’s true, but there is another device that does this that ...
