New method turns human urine into clean electricity using microbial fuel cells
Researchers at McGill University in Canada have optimized a process that converts human urine ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Plants are a rich and renewable source of compounds used in medicines, food ingredients, and cosmetics. Since growing an entire plant just to extract a few specific compounds is rather inefficient, ...
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, ...
