This article is about one of the honorees of Fast Company’s Next Big Things in Tech awards for 2022. Read about all the winners here. In a shipping container next to a PepsiCo bottling plant in Fresno ...

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 ...

Transporting methane from gas wellheads to market provides multiple opportunities for this greenhouse gas to leak into the atmosphere. Now, an international team of researchers has taken the first ...

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology has received considerable attention in the field of wastewater treatment over the past decade. This technology can simultaneously generate electricity and treat ...

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 ...

Shifting from dirty energy to dirt energy could be the future of power. Scientists develop game-changing new technology that ...

Logan notes, "Basically, we use the same microbial fuel cell we developed to clean wastewater and produce electricity. However, to produce hydrogen, we keep oxygen out of the MFC and add a small ...

Methane is an abundant energy source that is used for power generation in thermal power plants via combustion, but direct conversion to electricity in fuel cells remains challenging. Now, a microbial ...

Biodegradable waste from plant and animal sources released into freshwater ecosystems is a significant environmental concern. Nonetheless, current methods for assessing water quality seem more or less ...

Godfrey Kyazze received funding from The British Council to work on a project called METRIS - Microbial Electron Transfer: Research and Innovation for Social Welfare. The project has now ended. The ...

Using a new electrically assisted microbial fuel cell (MFC) that does not require oxygen, Penn State environmental engineers and a scientist at Ion Power Inc. have ...
