(Nanowerk Spotlight) Microbial fuel cells are a prime example of environmental biotechnology that turns the treatment of organic wastes into a source of electricity. Fuel cell technology, despite its ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) There are many competing types of fuel cells, depending on what kind of fuel and oxidant they use. Many combinations of fuel and oxidant are possible. For instance, a hydrogen ...

A microbial fuel cell is exactly what it sounds like, a fuel cell powered by microbes. I have to admit, I’d never heard of a microbial fuel cell until recently (or maybe I had, but it just didn’t ...

Over the past 20 years, nearly three-fourths of human-caused emissions came from the burning of fossil fuels. Increasing pollution and decreasing fossil energy resources encourage scientists to look ...
