Thank you, CTOnews.com netizens. Hello, rabbit clue delivery! CTOnews.com, May 25 (Xinhua)-- A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (UMass Amherst) cultured Geobacter Sulreducens bacteria and combined them with other materials to make new nanomaterials that can generate electricity.

The bacteria produce nanoscale protein filaments that reliably absorb water from the air. Using this bacterial property, scientists have developed a "band-aid" that can collect human sweat and use it to generate electricity.

Most nanoscale materials produce a difference in water content between the two electrodes and are ionized in a humid environment. When the load is connected to the electrode, this will lead to potential difference and current between the electrodes.

The key to this technology is humidity, a protein filament that absorbs water and creates a moisture difference that generates electricity.

Scientists say the material can be used in humid and desert areas, and these extreme environments have little impact on Geobacter Sulreducens bacteria.
