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"

Bio-Solar panel

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...

Superstrong MicroBot

Image
Here is Introducing MicroTug Developed by biomimetics and dexterous Lab. This 12 gram of micro robot uses "controllable adhesive" surface plate which sticks to the surface only when shear pressure is applied. it is capable of pull the objects 2000 times its own weight. "This is equivalent of a human adult dragging a blue whale around on land" They said . Main goal of the project is to create a robot that can be useful to drag the heavy objects where human can't reach. Here is the video which shows simple working demonstration of Robot  pulling heavy weight. Courtesy

Superfast Lightwaves To store Data

Image
Researchers from the University of Sydney CUDOS have dramatically slowed digital information carried as light waves by transferring the data into sound waves in an integrated circuit. "It is like the difference between thunder and lightning" Said  Dr Birgit Stiller, supervisor of the project at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Ultrahigh bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems (CUDOS). “The information in our chip in acoustic form travels at a velocity five orders of magnitude slower than in the optical domain,” said  Dr Birgit Stiller, research fellow at the University of Sydney  and supervisor of the project.  The delay allows for the data to be briefly stored and managed inside the chip for processing, retrieval and further transmission as light waves. While light is considered an excellent carrier of information, its speed creates difficulties when it’s being processed in computers and telecommunication systems. This new research promises to resolve thi...
