New fuel cell design can convert any biomass into electricity with a little help from sunlight or waste heat. (researchblogging.org)
The battery pack is about the same size, but has a new cell design with 192 cells — 96 fewer than the old car. (automobilemag.com)
Such characteristics could prove useful in future microbial fuel cell designs where the device need not always be operational but must survive long periods of hazardous conditions before being used. (treehugger.com)
