EMPA develops biodegradable fungi battery

A team from the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) has developed a 3D-printed battery. Fungi are used as anode and cathode with one releasing electrons during metabolism and the other able to absorb them. From ESS News Researchers in Switzerland are developing a biodegradable battery made from mushrooms. At Empa, a 3D printer has combined two types of mushrooms to create a small living cell that generates electricity. The academics responsible report a possible application for non-toxic power supply in simple measuring devices such as the temperature sensors ...
