  • Abstract
    The potato-powered clock is a nostalgic flashback from the childhood biology lessons of most of us, but a small group of scientists believe generating electricity from bacterial organisms could become a viable option. As renewable energy begins to gain traction as a serious possibility for society´s future needs, we explore a truly renewable source: bacteria.
