Scientists Create First Bacteria-Powered Solar Panels To Produce Clean Energy

2016-04-14 11:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Nature World News: Scientists from Binghamton University have created bacteria-powered solar panels that can produce clean energy. This recent breakthrough in energy studies offers great potential for a long-term, reliable power source in remote areas. On April 11, Binghamton University researchers used nine biological solar cells, also known as bio-solar cells, and connected them to a biological solar panel. This resulted in the continuous production of electricity from the panel. The amount of electricity it produced...
