Strechable & Foldable Bio-batteries

Researchers at Binghamton University has developed an Stretchable and flexible biobattery which is entirely textile-based. This bacteria-powered bio-batteries could one day be integrated into wearable electronics devices.
The team of Binghamton University Electrical and Computer Science Assistant Prof. Seokheun Choi, developed an entirely textile-based biobattery that is enough to produce maximum power similar to that produced by paper-based microbial fuel cells. Additionally, these batteries exhibit stable electricity-generating capability when tested under repeated twisting & stretching cycles.
"This stretchable, twistable power device could establish a standardized platform for textile-based biobatteries and will be potentially integrated into wearable electronics in the future", Choi said.
"We considered a flexible, stretchable, miniaturized biobattery as a truly useful energy technology because of their sustainable, renewable and eco-friendly capabilities", They said.
Choi said,"If we consider that humans possess more bacteria cells than human cells in their bodies, the direct use of bacterial cells as a power resource interdependently with the human body is conceivable for wearable electronics"

New Way to secure the Internet more reliably by Quantum physics

Image
scientists have developed a high-speed encryption system called "Quantum key distribution" (QKD) to stop hacker.  System is capable of distributing the encryption codes at the rate of MB/s which 10x faster than present method.  In a study of journal science advance  Here the researchers demonstrate that the technique is secure from common attacks, even in the face of equipment flaws that could open up links.

DNA Drive

Image
Researchers at Columbia University and newyork genome centre(NYGC) has found that using an algorithm called "fountain codes" a massive digital information can be stored into DNA and possible to retrieve it without error. They demonstrated it by storing six files and Shows that this coding strategy can store upto 215 Petabyte information in single gram of DNA. For full article Click here

Bio-Solar panel

Image
The scientists, at Imperial College London and University of Cambridge, have successfully Developed a new biophotovoltaic cell. "This Biophotovoltaic device is biodegradable and it can be serve as a disposable solar panel in the future and battery that can decompose in our composts or gardens,"  Co-author Marin Sawa at University of Arts London and Imperial College London told  Phys.org . "Cheap, accessible, environmentally friendly, biodegradable batteries without any heavy metals and plastics—this is what we and our environment really need but don't have just yet, and our work has shown that it is possible to have that." In general, biophotovoltaic  cells  contain some type of cyanobacteria or algae that is phototrophic, meaning it converts light into energy. However, even in the dark these organisms continue to generate some energy by metabolizing their internal storage reserves. So when the organisms are connected to a non-biological electrode, t...
