Green Technology – The Living Battery That Eats Itself After Use
Researchers at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) have developed a groundbreaking energy innovation—a 3D-printed, biodegradable fungal battery. Unlike traditional batteries that require charging, this one needs feeding. Using fungi as the core element, the battery delivers power to devices like temperature sensors and biodegrades once it’s no longer in use.
