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

Someday, consumers may be able to purchase multicolor strings of light that don’t need electricity or batteries to glow. Scientists at Syracuse University found a new way to harness the natural light produced by fireflies (called bioluminescence) using nanoscience. Their breakthrough produces a system that […]
