New @Cambridge_Uni feature on the wonderful work in the @CJHoweLab to develop biocells that harness the chemistry of algae to power small devices: cam.ac.uk/stories/cambridge-…
Cambridge researchers have created a device that could replace millions of small disposable batteries with a much cleaner source of energy 🔋
A team at the @CamBiochem has found a way to tap into the natural process of photosynthesis in algae and use it to generate continuous electricity 24/7 – without harming the organism at all.

ALT A group of three people stands in a library-like setting with shelves filled with books and binders. They are holding a small container, showcasing a new algae-powered biocell. There is a banner above them reading, "New Cambridge research: New algae-powered biocell technology could replace millions of disposable batteries."
