Ever imagined a battery that's eco-friendly and powers itself? Sounds like science fiction, right? Wrong!

A Fungi-Powered Battery

Scientists in Switzerland have created a biodegradable battery using fungi! This isn't your average 9-volt. It uses the amazing power of mushrooms to generate energy. Pretty cool, huh?

How it Works

The battery uses two types of fungi. One acts like a power source, the other helps move the energy along. They're 3D printed into a battery, along with some other conductive materials. It's like a tiny, living power plant!

What's it For?

These batteries are perfect for powering small environmental sensors. Think sensors that track temperature or other important data in the environment. These sensors often need power, and this battery is a great green solution.

The Future is Fungal

The scientists are excited about this discovery. They believe fungi have a lot of untapped potential in materials science. Who knows what other amazing things we can create using nature's power?
