Would you believe me if I told you urine can be used to produce energy? I know this sounds crazy, but a study, published in Results in Chemistry, analyzes how ...

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 ...

Over 14 days, they filled cells with lab-made wastewater spiked with real human urine. Researchers uncover key to converting human urine into usable energy: 'Reducing pressure on freshwater systems' ...

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 ...

A group of French students has been working on a groundbreaking project for several years—a low-cost microbial fuel cell that generates electricity from urine. Since ...

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 ...

Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that directly convert chemical energy from a fuel into electrical energy. Unlike batteries, which only store electricity, fuel cells can continuously generate ...

While fuel cells generate clean energy, fuel cell sensors generate precise measurements and are a gold standard for breath alcohol analysis.

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 ...
