Microbes are dynamic organisms that are associated with building various innovative technologies. One such developing technology is microbial fuel cells (MFC) that can produce electricity from organic ...

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 ...

The concept behind microbial fuel cells, which rely on bacteria to generate an electrical current, is more than a century old. But turning that concept into a usable tool has been a long process.

When nature designed lignin — the fibrous, woody material that gives plants their rigid structure — it didn’t cut any corners. Incredibly slow to break down, lignin is so sturdy and long lasting that ...

A new approach to elucidate the operation and control of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells is being developed. A global reactor engineering approach is applied to PEM fuel cells to ...
