Students Harnessing Energy by Using Bacteria That Live in Soil
Until now, researchers and scientists have discovered how to harness solar energy, biofuel, hydropower and wind power but a new renewable energy source could be right under our feet. A group of Harvard students use small currents created by bacteria living in soil to collect and harness that energy in a microbial fuel cell (MFC).
Researchers Found An Enzyme That Could Get Gasoline From Thin Air
"This organism is a very common soil bacteria that is very well understood and has been studied for a long time. But while we were studying it, we realized that the enzyme has some unusual behavior", said Markus Ribbe, a scientist at the University of California.
