A pioneering biobattery has been shown to reduce tumor growth in the body and could hold the key to a new drug-free ...

In laboratory tests, tiny implantable battery reduces size of cancer tumour by 99 per cent in two weeks A pioneering ...

the fungal biobattery and the paper battery. "We want to produce a compact, biodegradable battery whose electrodes consist of a living 'fungal paper,'" says Sinha. More information: Ashutosh Sinha ...

This new biobattery doesn’t just rely on fungi—it is made with them. Using advanced 3D printing, scientists embedded living fungal cells into cellulose-based ink to build the components of the ...

A battery that needs feeding instead of charging? This is exactly what Empa researchers have achieved with their 3D-printed, biodegradable fungal battery. The living battery could supply power to ...

What if, instead of taking traditional batteries out into the wild to power remote sensors, you could bring a non-toxic “living” biobattery instead? In a new paper, published in ACS Sustainable ...

“Our fungal biobattery is made from sustainable materials, including cellulose, wax and carbon, and is compostable.” The modern world relies on batteries. But today’s batteries are made of chemicals, ...

Electric fungi: The biobattery that needs to be fed Date: January 9, 2025 Source: Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (EMPA) Summary: A battery that needs feeding ...

Fungi are a source of fascination. This kingdom of life – more closely related to animals than to plants – encompasses an enormous variety. Everything can be found here: from edible mushrooms ...

Here, we demonstrate an innovative 1-D yarn biobattery, a step toward a potential solution for scaling-up production of the wearable batteries. Our 1-D biobattery used microorganisms as a biocatalyst ...

Abstract: We created a 9-cell biobattery stack on paper, which was capable of generating bio-power from microbial metabolism, delivering on-board energy to the next generation of paper-based systems.
