If you built a potato-powered clock as a child, you know plants can generate electricity. But scientists are now developing sophisticated methods to harness this power on a much larger scale. The ...

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 ...

Microbial fuel cells, as they're called, have been around for more than 100 years. They work a little like a battery, with an anode, cathode and electrolyte – but rather than drawing electricity from ...

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology has received considerable attention in the field of wastewater treatment over the past decade. This technology can simultaneously generate electricity and treat ...

A team of researchers co-led by the University of California San Diego has developed a method to produce a special class of plant hormones, known as strigolactones, at unprecedented levels using ...

The discharge of organic effluents—biodegradable waste materials from plants and animals—into freshwater bodies is a significant environmental concern, affecting the health and sustainability of these ...

The fuel cell's 3D printed cap peeks above the ground. The cap keeps debris out of the device while enabling air flow. New fuel cell harnesses naturally occurring microbes to generate electricity Soil ...

Researchers from the University of California (UC), San Diego, UC Riverside, and Utsunomiya University in Japan have demonstrated the feasibility of using microbial cell factories to amplify the ...
