A 3D paper-based MFC system is developed to produce current

Posted on by Haptic

A team of researchers from the Iowa State University in Ames, IA has demonstrated a proof-of-concept three-dimensional paper-based microbial fuel cell (MFC) that could take advantage of capillary action to guide the liquids through the MFC system and to eliminate the need for external power. Their report appears in the forthcoming issue of the journal Read more about A 3D paper-based MFC system is developed to produce current[…]

New Biomaterial Impedes Bacteria on Metal Surfaces

Posted on by Haptic

Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have developed an innovative anti-biofilm coating, which has significant anti-adhesive potential for a variety of medical and industrial applications. According to the research published in Advanced Materials Interfaces, anti-adhesive patches that are developed from naturally occurring biomaterials can prevent destructive bacterial biofilm from forming on metal surfaces Read more about New Biomaterial Impedes Bacteria on Metal Surfaces[…]
