BACTERIA BATTERY COULD RUN FOR A CENTURY – Researchers from Binghamton University’s Bioelectronics and Microsystems Laboratory have developed a battery that runs off of bacteria and could theoretically keep running for 100 years. The team created a dime-sized fuel cell, which was then sealed in Kapton tape, which resists extremely cold and hot temperatures. After the tape is removed, moisture enters in, which sets off a reaction between the bacteria and a chemical germinant that produces power, and spores. GO DEEPER
