Bacteria-Powered Batteries That Look Like Paper; Possibly A Cheaper Source Of Renewable Energy

Acquiring renewable energy has become not just a study, but now, it is more regarded as an international concern. When the introduction of Hydroelectricity and Solar Power became possible, numerous possibilities of finding more ways of acquiring renewable energy became more rampant.

And now, science's latest discovery deals with renewable energy. Are bacteria-powered batteries really possible? Bacteria have been known by all as infectious and dangerous microorganisms that can affect most especially the health of a person. But because of the gains in science, the recent discovery is challenging what everyone thinks about bacteria.

One of the frontrunners of the said technology nowadays is the Binghamton University from New York. Their researchers have made a bacteria-powered battery that looks thin like a paper! Papertronics may no longer be shocking to people but it became an interesting field field because of its recent participation in the field if renewable energy. The latest discovery will be a relatively cheaper source of renewable energy as well.

As for Sokheun Choi, the Assistant Professor from Thomas J. Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science, papertronics now play a very important role in the science world. He said that making those bacteria-powered batteries through papertronics will cut a big bulk of possible expenses.

At Mr. Choi's statement at New Electronics, using papertronics in making those kinds of batteries encourage low costing. With that, he indicated that producing these batteries require patience since manual assembly for this is still used.

In order to light up a 40-watt bulb, millions of power batteries should be used, as what the scientists havesaid. With this, Choi expressed enthusiasm and even excitement because of this latest technology. Now, he is hopeful that the microorganisms may have a very important role in saving the environment, since it is now discovered that bacteria have the capability to get energy from nature.
