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 ...

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 ...

Fuel cells are not some novel new technology. In fact, most history books credit the invention of the fuel cell to Welsh chemist and physicist William Grove, who, in the late 1830s and early 1840s, ...

Researchers at McGill University announced Monday they have improved the efficiency of a method for converting human urine into clean energy.
