Biobatteries

In this episode, we learn about a new and exciting technology called Microbial Fuel Cells, a series of bacteria-based batteries that could some day replace current (lol) batteries. We also dip our toe into why and how batteries work, as well as why a biobattery might make more sense in the long run.
