Researchers in the UK develop soil powered battery!

October 23, 2024 The idea of soil microbes generating electricity is such a fascinating and revolutionary development. The concept of “Bactery,” a soil-powered battery developed by the University of Bath, harnesses the power of electrigens—microbes capable of generating electrons while consuming organic compounds in the soil. This breakthrough has the potential to sustainably power in-field sensors, part of the “Smart Farming” revolution, providing real-time data on soil conditions to support more efficient agricultural practices. Plus, no need for replacing batteries or maintaining solar panels—just install and let nature do the rest.
