Since more than 60% of the investment in making microbial fuel cells is the cost of platinum, the discovery may […]

The aim of the research long-term is to develop more efficient biofuel cells, seen as the future of electronics. Because biofuel cells are powered by readily available […]

Bacillus stratosphericus – a microbe commonly found in high concentrations in the stratosphere orbiting the earth with the satellites – is a key component of a new ‘super’ biofilm that has been engineered by a team of scientists from Newcastle […]
