Scientists develop dirt-powered fuel cell that could replace batteries

Uncategorized / By

Researchers led by Northwestern University have developed a fuel cell that generates electricity using microbes naturally found in soil. The device, roughly the size of a paperback book, produces small amounts of power by capturing energy released as these microorganisms break down organic material in dirt. This soil-powered system is designed to run underground sensors
