When nature designed lignin — the fibrous, woody material that gives plants their rigid structure — it didn’t cut any corners. Incredibly slow to break down, lignin is so sturdy and long lasting that ...
Would you believe me if I told you urine can be used to produce energy? I know this sounds crazy, but a study, published in Results in Chemistry, analyzes how ...
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) offer a promising avenue for renewable energy production by harnessing the metabolic activities of microorganisms to convert chemical energy from organic matter into ...

Researchers uncover key to converting human urine into usable energy: 'Reducing pressure on freshwater systems'
Over 14 days, they filled cells with lab-made wastewater spiked with real human urine. Researchers uncover key to converting human urine into usable energy: 'Reducing pressure on freshwater systems' ...
Researchers at McGill University have improved the efficiency of a method for converting human urine into clean energy. The method employs microbial fuel cells (MFCs), which use bacteria to turn ...
Researchers have developed a sustainable, inexpensive two-step process that can upcycle organic carbon waste -- including lignin, a difficult-to-breakdown material that gives plants their structure.
