Microbial fuel cells are a promising new technology for generating electricity, but so far they’re plagued by inefficiency. Now, researchers at UCLA have found a way to wring more energy out of them, ...

In a new report now published on Royal Society Open Science, Mohammed Taha Amen and a team of scientists in bio-nanosystem engineering, chemical engineering and microbiology at the Chonbuk National ...

At present, microbial fuel cells are mainly used in research laboratories to generate electricity. In order for industrial applications to be considered in the future, the fuel cells must be further ...

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 ...

Somewhere under a patch of ordinary garden soil, billions of bacteria are quietly going about their business eating organic ...

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 ...
