  1. However, its current strength is still very low presence.
  2. Recently, scientists at the University of New York has successfully built "battery-powered energy panels bacteria on thin paper." It is reported that this project was born for these electronic devices have a short lifespan, using clean energy sources on the environment.
  3. "Special production technique will reduce the time and cost of production of traditional batteries, and this bio battery promises to be a useful source of energy for remote areas", the researchers study said.
  4. Specifically, the scientists used a type of paper chromatography (chromatography), and a strip of silver nitrate with a waxy coating. Battery anode is made of conductive polymers and it integrates a small space to contain the bacteria solution, through which the respiration of the cells will produce energy for the battery.
  5. Of course we can not use this power line for large equipment. Field area is created by bacteria in the microwatt intensity 31.51 125.53 6 microamp with batteries configured into 3 strips parallel ratings, and 44.85 microwatts at 105.89 microamp with 6x6 configuration. In this line, the scientists say that it's enough to keep the small electronic devices to maintain operation for several days.
  6. This is not the first battery group bacteria scientists created. The prototype of it was created in 2015, with the ability to fold up like a matchbox.
