| Breakthrough in Electricity-Producing Microbe |  |
| University of Massachusetts researchers have made a breakthrough with "Geobacter", a microbe that produces electric current from mud and wastewater. A conservative estimate puts the energy output increase at eight times that of the original organism potentially allowing applications far beyond that of extracting electricity from mud. "Now, planning can move forward to design microbial fuel cells that convert waste water and renewable biomass to electricity, treat a single home`s waste while producing localized power (especially attractive in developing countries), power mobile electronics, vehicles and implanted medical devices, and drive bioremediation of contaminated environments."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
