A new soil-based battery uses microbes to generate electricity, potentially offering a safer and lower-maintenance way to ...

A study led by researchers at McGill University has found that certain concentrations of urine can improve the efficiency of ...

Biodegradable waste from plant and animal sources released into freshwater ecosystems is a significant environmental concern. Nonetheless, current methods for assessing water quality seem more or less ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a soil-powered fuel cell that uses naturally occurring microbes to generate enough electricity for low-power underground sensors, opening a possible route to battery-free ...

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 ...
