Scientists have built a battery powered by yogurt microbes that dissolves after use.

Dissolvable Probiotic-Powered Biobatteries for Transient Use

A team of engineers led by a Professor from Binghamton University unveiled a new type of battery that can self-dispose. The dissolvable batteries break down into non-harmful materials, making them ideal for use in medical, environmental, and security applications. Here's how the disposable batteries' proof of concept could reshape the market and usher in a new era of safe, effective, self-disposing energy solutions. E-Waste: The Environmental Ch…

Bioresorbable battery powered by probiotics

A research team at Binghamton University, led by Professor Seokheun Choi, has developed a battery that dissolves safely in low pH environments. They published their findings in the journal Small.  About the battery The battery is powered by a 15-strain probiotic blend, which is harmless to humans and the environment. It is constructed with biodegradable… The post Probiotics power a bioresorbable battery that can run from 4 to 100+ minutes appear…
