Algae "biocells" powered by photosynthesis could replace disposable batteries

Bio-designer Lucia Giron has worked with the University of Cambridge's Department of Biochemistry to develop prototypes of an algae-based battery alternative, which harnesses the power of photosynthesis for electricity. The University of Cambridge is one of the pioneers of biophotovoltaics, which work like biological solar panels, converting light into electrical current through the natural proces
