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 ...

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 ...

A team at Northwestern University has created a paperback-sized device that can rest within the soil and draw energy from it. The dirt-powered fuel cell is quite unique and can draw almost limitless ...

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) offer a promising avenue for renewable energy production by harnessing the metabolic activities of microorganisms to convert chemical energy from organic matter into ...

Batteries hold toxic, flammable chemicals that leach into the ground, are fraught with conflict-filled supply chains and contribute to the ever-growing problem of electronic waste. George Wells, ...

Researchers have developed an innovative methodology for measuring the electrical conductivity of microbial communities. This methodology holds promise for the development of batteries and ...
