Flexible, permeable and 3D integrated electronic skin combines liquid metal circuits with fibrous substrates
In recent years, research teams worldwide have been trying to develop new flexible and soft electronics. These devices could have various potential applications, for instance helping doctors to monitor their patients' health conditions or supporting rehabilitation and performance sports. To be safely and comfortably worn by users daily, these devices should be permeable (i.e., based on breathable materials that allow liquids and gases to pass through them). They should also be bio-compatible (i.e., safe to be worn on the human body for long periods of time) and strain resistant, meaning that they do not break easily when stretched or pulled in a specific direction. Researchers at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and other institutes in China recently developed a new intrinsically permeable, 3D integrated and flexible electronic skin. This e-skin, presented in a paper in Nature Electronics, is based on high-density inorganic electronic components placed on organic stretchable fibrous substrates.

DC Comics highschool AU where Bruce 18 and Harvey 18 are the golden twins (lovers) of the football team, but after an injury, Harvey is replaced with that nerd from smallville who's in the school's newspaper, and he's able to make Bruce cheer too !
Grrr
So Harvey's integrating the cheerleaders (and debate) team to stay close of the field and his mentor is the girl rumoured to be the great grandgirl of the last Chinese Emperor Talia Al-Ghul.
In this AU, there is an unofficial club of heavily mentally scarred gothamite kids, you know who i'm talking about, and they have been adopted by the Golden Twins (lovers), so better not mess with them.
Everybody knows Dick 17 , he has to settle down in Gotham when his parents died and social services were looking for a solution, Alfred Pennyworth took him in, he was there with Bruce that night. Captain of the gymnastic team, no enemy guy, the only one able to shine brighter than Harvey. Someone tried to mess with his girlfriend once, Kori Anders, apparently he also learnt muay thai on the road.
Jason Todd 16 , Stephanie Brown 15 , Duke Thomas 14, Harper 16 and Cullen Row 14 can't and won't deny coming from Park Row, sorry, crime alley, Duke is actually from Bristol, but you know, nuances are too complicated. They met each other in foster system and Dick too.
One day, when the orphanage was running very low on money, Jason appeared with multiple bags of food. The others thought he was joking when he said he stole the 4 wheels of the mayor's Bentley, when he, Jacob Kane, came with the police they weren't joking so much.
Long story short, they are Kane's wards now, it's was a package deal.
Jay and Duke are making the glorious hours of writing club, Jason would like theater and Duke chemical but Jacob made them pick a sport, Jason was kind of forced to go to the football defensive team, (Jake didn't digest the L against Metropolis in 86) and Duke for the running team. As fast as light.
Steph is Lois Lane's right hand for the school's newspaper, she's running their social medias with great sucess and is the head of gossip departement. Clark is the left hand for the investigation departement. She won against Jason, Harvey, Clark and others *wink wink* the biggest eater contest. She's now a subject for the quantum physics club.
Harper leads the electronics club, the school still remembers when her dog sized spider drone was unleashed. She's also in the kickboxing club.
Cullen is vibing in the theater and art club.
Kate Kane 18 can't stand all the dumbasses above but if she has a dream where you are glaring at them she will break your knees. Her father wanted her to do ballet, she's doing music and kickboxing. Bullying is her love langage.
Tim Drake 15 is a little genius coming in HS at 12, a unique feat until a certain someone from middle east came to school... He's driving Edward Nygma insane by solving all his riddles, photography and and electronic club. His parents are rich but always absent. 7 years ago, Alfred invited him for thanksgiving, never really left since.
Damian Al-Ghul 13 and Cassandra Wu-San 16 are cousins, they are not related but their family have known each other forever and Cass was there the day the demon spawned. Damian is Dusan's Al-Ghul son, who's 30 years older than his little sister Talia, the two are really too much well trained in martial field to be normal. Damian's is leading the escrima club.
Cass, despite being mute, is leading kickboxing club, noboby ever won a round against her. In the entire country. Except for her big sister Sandra Wu-San, also known in professional wrestling as Lady Shiva, who could give her a draw. Also she can't use technology to save her life.
The Wu-San are the adopted daughters of Dinah Drake (second cousin of Tim) and Ted Grant, a former world heavyweight boxing champion and a professional wrestler known as Wildcat. Together they have a bio daughter, Dinah Jr Laurel Drake-Grant.
A girl, Selina Kyle 18 claims she's not related to them but still has a permanent room in their house if she wants to come. Teddy met Jacob Kane in the army and were deployed in middle east together, he found his girls in some destroyed village in the Middle East and resigned right after.
Talia and Damian are from one of the oldest Asian family, and very old money. Some argues that was their family who created the first philosopher's stone. Their grandpa being the only person on Earth from the XIX century still alive is not helping. Ras wife's family helped the Americans in the Middle East that how he met Ted and Jacob.
Talia 18 is in the cheerleading club because of her HUUUUUUUGE crush on Bruce Wayne, best grades ever everywhere. Wants to become a vet.
Nyssa 17 Al-Ghul is in the kickboxing club and write her secret stuff just for her.
Barbara Gordon 17 is the daughter of the commissionner, someone shot her, she's paralysed. She's the captain of wheelchair basketball and in the electronics. She's a godess at armwrestling. For real she's an hydraulic press. She's really close of Dick Grayson and maybe she has adopted Steph, Cass, Harper as hers. Her own pose in school is with Dinah Laurel and Helena Bertinelli.
She's very competitive and will take very badly if Tim is just behind her again at the Olympics of hacking this year.
Diana 18 (who is at least as tall as Clark, i'm right on this) is leading the wrestling team and history club, she's a exchange student from Greece from a monastry where men are forbidden as a diplomatic move with her sisters. (in reality the opposite exists, for real). Her accent makes every boys and girls fall for her. She has a very strong sens of justice. One day she saw Bruce and Clark, not even talking together and..."Your mine now ! We're having tacos tonight !" They knew they couldn't negotiate.
Ollie Queen 18, everybody knows he will go to a board school one of the four (three) true childhood friends of Bruce Wayne. Captain of the archery team. Came with his own crew, all in the team. Desperatly in love with Dinah Jr.
Zatanna Zatara 18, her father was a close friend of Thomas Wayne, she's on a very good way to become a magician herself. One of the four (three) true childhood friends of Bruce Wayne. Leads theater club.
Hal Jordan 18, wants to become a jet fighter, obsessed with construction games. Mathematic club and running team.
Kendra Saunders 18, also known as Hawkgirl, because the week-end she's doing BASE Jump.
John Jones 18 and his half-sister Megan Morse 17, they are refugees from oversea after a coup. They love the special effects in movies and theaters so they are is this club. They came with
Kori Anders 17, princess in exile of Tamara, she's a really sweet girl so the school asked their sweetest student to guide her through her new life : Dick Grayson. Nobody knows how she mastered english in so little time. She had troubles with the differencies beetween the two countries. Everyone's favourite. Hurting, even a little Kori is declaring war to the whole school. She's also taller than anybody and very muscular. She kinda adopted Jason ?
Rachel Roth 14, is the daughter of the King of Azaroth, nobody really knows where it is. She's in the meditation and spiritual club. The only one allowed to hug, kiss, and touch her is Kori. The constant barking with Damian Al-Ghul can't only be hatred.
Donna Troy 17, Cassie Sandmarks 15 and Artemis Grace 16, they came with Diana. They all had a "Oh my god, he's so pathetic, I love him." With a Gotham Boy. They are all very tall and strong and in the weightlifting club.
Clark 18 and Jon 14 come from Smallville and are, 1) the sweetest guys ever, 2) fucking STRONG, there is a video on the differents groupchats of them, lifting the school gargoyle after a storm. Maybe farm strenght isn't the only explanation.
Kon 15 and Bizz 14 are from metropolis, Ma Kent's sister married Papa Luthor and they had Lex and then one rebelious and one albino with a speach impeachement, who is also the size of a polar bear. But, beware, Bizz is Jason Todd and Artemis love child. They haven't really figured yet what they want to do. Bizz is in special class with Cassandra Wu-San so you can regulary see her on his back giggling.
Linda 17 and Karen 18 kent, cousins of Clark by Pa Kent came back in town a few years ago after they lived their whole life in California. Linda is in the well-being club and liked by everyone. Karen is more on the amazonians side of the force and can't help herself but have homoerotic sparring with any strong woman on sight.
Dinah Jr Laurel Drake-Grant 18 embrassed her mom legacy and already took the mantle of Black Canary and can already put stages on fire. Her perfect figure must not makes you forget that she can beat your ass in seconds because she's in the kickboxing club too. Probably why Ollie is so in love. If you ask her if she's single, she would either tell you to fuck off if dhe doesn't like you or tell you she's already married with further explanation. (Could be either the stage, or Barbs and Helena).
Roy Harper 17 is in the archery team and music club with Dinah, nobody can sing the country and blues like him. He kinda adopted Jay with Kori too. Him and Jay made a pact to quit alcohol and drugs after they had a bad trip together on a joint in the toilet at a party together.
Lian Harper 14 is his little sister and will stay single until she's 30, at least. Well, everyone on the Arrow Team would like that. She loves hanging out with Dick and the others. Archery team too.
(I don't actually quite know a thing on the rest of the team, but they are there and well.)
The Allens all have their buddies too and are putting the race tracks on fire. Their father Jay Garrick holds multiple records of speed and gold medals. But not for long to his hapinness.
The Curry family comes from the islands in pacific ocean and are setting new records every years in swimming competition. They are all in bio courses to study marine life.
Harley Quinn 18 went in school with Bruce after his parent's murder, saw him sad, and never left him. One of the four (three) true childhood friend. She won't follow any rules but she's not a bad person. Wants to help everyone with their mental health, got a pretty big tik tok account and instagram on this topic. Her ex boyfriend, Jack, made her do bad things. But her (girl)friends Pamela, Selina and Bruce and a few others (all the people above) quickly talked to him. (Alfred signed a 100 000 dollars check for surgery)
Pamela Isley 18 leads the botanic club, she doesn't like people, like at all, would talk to grass but not you, she only started to like her figure when Harley couldn't stop ranting about her "water melon boobies" and "starship butt" in PE's locker room . Anybody else would be dead, but...It was Harley ? And Selina was laughing her ass off.
Selina Kyle 18, aka Catgirl because she's always wearing stuff with cat, her bagpack, cat ears, cat make up. She has a super model walk and won't accept shit from anyone. She wants to be a vet with Talia.
Jack Napier : still in the coma. AKA Joker, a nickname gained in jail for minors.
Thomas Eliott 18, the minus one true childhood friends of Bruce Wayne, wants him dead. Jealous that he had his inheritance before him.
(I spent 4 hours on this. Why ? BECAUSE I'M BATFAN)

Seeing as I’ve recently finished the model kit, let’s discuss the Delta Gundam today.
I’m specifically going to be talking about the design and it’s variants. What I’m not going to be talking about is the Hyaku Shiki, and it’s variants, since those are a whole separate topic I want to cover at some point, though I will be comparing to the base Hyaku Shiki at times.
So, the Delta Gundam is the original prototype design to the Hyaku Shiki (or at least close enough there’s little difference). Had it been built it would have been one of the first transformable mobile suits of the Gryps war. However, the frame suffered from structural issues, so it was instead completed as the Hyaku Shiki, which would be piloted by Quattro Bajeena (Aka Char Aznable) during the Gryps War. It’s one of the few mobile suits that we know for a fact was never built (at least at the moment) and is arguably the closest Char ever got to piloting a Gundam-type mobile suit (discounting the Mk-II heist at the start of the Gryps war).
I think it’s honestly gorgeous, for being the in-universe first crack at third-generation mobile suits. A lot of the design feels very Zeta-esque to me, but it’s got more heft to it comparatively (probably because of the wing binders). I absolutely love the head, it just looks so sinister and it contains the same IDE (Image Directive Encode) system that made the original Hyaku Shiki such a good sniper. The rifle is also very nice, it’s got a very gryps-era design, but it somehow feels fuller and deadlier. The Delta Gundam stores it’s beam sabers in its shield, where they also function as beam guns. Honestly, I forget about this feature a lot simply because that’s something that was more common during the Neo Zeon War, and it makes the Delta Gundam feel overarmed to me. It’s just such a lovely blend of the Zeta, Hyaku Shiki and Mk-II, which were fairly light on integrated weaponry. The design also feels considerably more contemporary - it’s officially part of the Gundam Unicorn MSV, despite it being in-universe from the Gryps War, so it’s possible that this is an in-universe “refined” concept. The comparatively simple design also makes its unique features (the wings, the head, the gold) pop more.
The Delta Plus.
The Delta Plus is a limited production suit built by Anaheim Electronics based no the original Delta Gundam. It’s essentially a mashup of the Delta Gundam and the Zeta Plus series. Compared to its predecessor, it trades the golden Anti-Beam coating for heavier firepower and a transformation system that actually works. It’s also equipped with a simple bio-sensor for use by newtypes.
For Armaments, it retains the Vulcans, Beam Sabers (and thus beam guns) and (now-optional) beam rifle of its predecessor, while it gains a 2-barrel grenade launcher and besm cannon, both built into the shield. Additionally, it was equipped with a Long Mega Buster, first used by the Full Armour Hyaku Shiki Kai, as standard armament. Why is this important? Because the Long Mega Buster is essentially a handheld version of the Original Hyaku Shiki’s Mega Bazooka Launcher, giving the Delta Plus significant firepower compared to its predecessors. It would be piloted by Riddhe Marcenas during the LA+ Incident (or Third Neo Zeon War).
So what do I think about it? Ehhh….. I don’t really dislike the design, but it’s just a little drab. It suffers because I like both the Delta Gundam and the Hyaku Shiki, so despite the armament increase, the Delta Plus just feels like a downgrade. I like the Zeta Plus series, which the Delta Plus takes obvious influence from, but the problem is that I like them because they have a soft, rounded, aerodynamic look compared to the sleek, angular nature of the original Zeta Gundam. The Delta Plus is just more lines and angles, it feels too different from them from a design perspective. There’s also it’s usage in the story, which I want to talk about.
Okay, I understand why Riddhe’s in Unicorn. I understand who he is and what he represents so I don’t really have to like him, per se. I view him getting the Delta Plus as shorthand for “he’s an important character now, pay attention” and because people like the Hyaku Shiki, he gets a suit based on that. Problem is, other than being able to independently enter the atmosphere (*cough* Ballutes *cough*), I don’t really see what the Delta Plus adds that wouldn’t be provided by a ReZel. I’ll admit this is partially because I’ve been coming around to liking the ReZel a lot more lately, but I just don’t think the Delta Plus adds much. The Delta Plus is eventually absolutely mauled by the Banshee, and while it’s a pretty good “death” scene, it’s destroyed functionally so Riddhe can get a new suit. I mentioned it contains a simple bio-sensor before, but despite Riddhe’s newtype potential, I don’t think it ever comes up in-series.
The Gundam Delta Kai
A thoroughly upgraded Delta Plus, designed as a next-gen demonstration machine. It’s essentially chock-full of fancy weaponry and experimental systems.
Honestly, it’s equipped with a lot of optional weaponry that I wasn’t aware of, so I’m just going to be focusing on its “basic” loadout here (IE What’s on the model kit). It’s equipped with Vulcans, Beam Sabers (which again double as beam guns), a Long Mega Buster (as with the Delta Plus), a High Mega Cannon, built into the shield and based on the ZZ (though with the output ratcheted back quite significantly), and finally, some proto fin funnels swiped from the Nu Gundam’s development. It’s also equipped with the n_i_t_r_o system, which temporarily enhances a normal pilot into a cyber Newtype and causes the mobile suit to emit blue flames. It also makes the pilot unusually aggressive and unstable. So, basically an EXAM system in a hat and moustache. Honestly, I tend to forget about it.
So, the Gundam Delta Kai is gorgeous. It’s a fourth-gen mobile suit with a bunch of armaments, I like how the blue and yellow break up the predominantly while colour scheme and it’s got an actual Gundam-style head. Though I wasn’t able to find a good picture of the shield it integrates far better than you’d expect from its design. The funnels are oversized and delightful, since they change its whole silhouette and give the impression of an increased armament (if the high mega cannon didn’t already). I also want to call out that I especially love the thruster design on this thing. 10/10, no further notes.
The Gundam Delta Kai would eventually be upgraded into the Land Combat Gundam Delta Kai. I’m gonna be honest, I don’t really have much of an opinion of this one. Or really anything to say about it.
The Delta Gundam II.
An identical, red copy of the original Delta Gundam, its plans were pitched to Karaba in November of UC 0087, in the middle of the Gryps War, but it was rejected due to the fact it would take too much time to be built. Out-of-universe, it’s an excuse to sell the Delta Gundam in Char’s colours, but I find I rather like it. The flat colours allows the design to take on greater definition in some areas (such as the head) and to pleasingly evokes the Zero-Shiki (and thus the Rick Dias) to me.
Finally, we come to the Mega-Shiki. A Gunpla ordered by Team G-Master for the Gunpla Battle Championship, built by Minato Sakai. It’s essentially a purple mash-up of the Delta Gundam and Hyaku-Shiki, with an integrated Mega-Rider from ZZ as its backpack.
Armaments are: Vulcan Guns in the head, a beam rifle identical to that of the Delta Gundam, two beam sabers styled after samurai swords (functioning similarly to Beam Cutlasses from Gundam Crossbone) and the Mega Beam Cannon mounted on the Mega Rider backpack (honestly it’s called a beam cannon, high mega beam cannon, mega launcher, so I just made my best guess. It’s essentially the Hyaku Shiki’s Mega Bazooka Launcher but better integrated). It retains the anti-beam coating of its predecessors, but it’s coloured purple.
The Mega Shiki is another of those rare models I would get to mod and paint. The purple colour scheme doesn’t do it for me, but it could be repainted in a variety of Gryps-war appropriate colour schemes that I’d find quite enjoyable. I like how the Mega Rider’s integrated, but I’d honestly much rather knock it off, replace the backpack with a standard Hyaku-Shiki one, and use it as the Hyaku-Shiki does - a sort-of sub-flight system meets really big gun. I understand the idea behind the beam katana’s but I just don’t really think they add anything to the design. In a nutshell, it’s a nice concept, but the execution feels like it’s going in too many directions at once. It is my understanding that the HG model contains several spare Delta Gundam Parts however, such as the head (but not the backpack), so it does have options as a model.

A smart bionic finger for subsurface tactile tomography
Bio-robot equipped with tactile sensors can simulate humans to sense surface characteristic information of an object, but acquiring subsurface information from materials remains challenging. Here, we introduce a smart bionic finger with subsurface tactile tomography capability. This bionic finger is equipped with an integrated tactile feedback system, which allows the bionic finger to respond to a force quantitatively. A series of thresholds corresponding to the forces are set up for the bionic finger to generate a layer-by-layer series of slice images of material. These slice images can reveal and reproduce the internal structure of the materials with a soft surface layer. This subsurface tactile tomography is further demonstrated by the reconstruction of a subsurface 3D profile of both artificial human tissue and an encapsulated flexible circuit system. This bionic finger, with the capability of subsurface tactile tomography, opens up a nonoptical way for the nondestructive testing of the human body and flexible electronics.

Microbial Fuel Cells: Generating Clean Energy with Biotechnology
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are a remarkable innovation that brings together microbiology and technology to create clean, renewable energy. These systems generate electricity by utilizing the natural metabolic processes of microorganisms. MFCs are a promising solution for energy generation and hold potential for wastewater treatment and environmental restoration. Over the years, the progress in MFC technology has shown how sustainable energy and biotechnology can come together to address some of the world’s pressing challenges. This article explores the inner workings of microbial fuel cells, their applications, advantages, challenges, and future prospects.
What Are Microbial Fuel Cells?
At their core, microbial fuel cells are bio-electrochemical devices that convert chemical energy stored in organic matter into electrical energy through the activity of bacteria. These systems rely on microorganisms to break down organic material, releasing electrons as a byproduct of their metabolic activity. These electrons are then captured and directed to generate an electric current. The process involves an anode chamber where bacteria metabolize organic matter in an anaerobic environment, releasing electrons and protons. The electrons are transferred through an external circuit to the cathode, generating electricity, while protons pass through a proton exchange membrane to complete the reaction.
MFCs effectively mimic natural processes to transform waste into energy. By harnessing bacteria to process organic materials, they provide a sustainable and eco-friendly energy source. Their versatility allows for a wide range of applications, including energy generation, pollution management, and water purification.
How Microbial Fuel Cells Work
Microbial fuel cells rely on a few key components that work together to enable electricity generation. The first is the anode chamber, where microorganisms break down organic matter in an oxygen-free environment. This chamber is crucial because it fosters the growth and activity of bacteria that release electrons during their metabolic processes. These electrons travel through an external circuit, creating a flow of electricity before reaching the cathode.
The cathode chamber is where the final step of the reaction takes place. Here, electrons, protons, and oxygen come together, usually forming water as the end product. The separation between the anode and cathode chambers is maintained by a proton exchange membrane, which selectively allows protons to pass through while keeping the chambers chemically distinct. This design is essential for maintaining anaerobic conditions in the anode chamber and ensuring the system operates efficiently.
Applications of Microbial Fuel Cells
Microbial fuel cells offer a variety of applications, making them a versatile tool in both environmental management and energy production. One of their most notable uses is in wastewater treatment. By integrating MFCs into treatment facilities, organic pollutants can be broken down while simultaneously generating electricity, providing a dual benefit. This approach reduces the energy costs associated with traditional wastewater treatment methods while addressing environmental concerns.
Another significant application is bioremediation. MFCs can be used to clean up environments contaminated with hydrocarbons, heavy metals, or other pollutants. The bacteria in these systems are capable of breaking down harmful substances, contributing to the restoration of ecosystems. Additionally, MFCs are being explored in desalination, where they assist in removing salt from seawater. This offers an energy-efficient method for producing freshwater in areas facing water scarcity.
In addition to these applications, MFCs serve as biosensors. They can detect microbial activity or the presence of specific pollutants in water or soil. These sensors provide real-time data that can be critical for environmental monitoring and decision-making.
Advantages of Microbial Fuel Cells
The advantages of microbial fuel cells make them an attractive solution for clean energy and environmental management. One of their most notable benefits is the ability to generate renewable energy. Unlike fossil fuels, MFCs rely on organic materials as their energy source, reducing dependency on non-renewable resources and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
MFCs also contribute to waste reduction. By converting organic waste into electricity, they address two significant issues simultaneously: energy generation and waste management. This makes them particularly valuable in industries that produce large amounts of organic waste, such as agriculture and food processing.
Another advantage is their environmental friendliness. MFCs produce minimal emissions and often contribute to environmental restoration efforts. For instance, when used in wastewater treatment, they clean the water and produce energy as a byproduct. Furthermore, their scalability allows them to be adapted for various applications, from small-scale biosensors to large industrial systems.
Challenges Facing Microbial Fuel Cells
Despite their potential, microbial fuel cells face several challenges that limit their widespread adoption. One of the primary issues is their relatively low power output. Compared to conventional energy sources, MFCs generate significantly less electricity, making them unsuitable for applications requiring high energy demands.
The cost of materials is another hurdle. The components of MFCs, including electrodes and membranes, are often made from expensive materials that increase the overall system cost. This presents a significant barrier to large-scale implementation, especially in resource-limited settings.
Scalability is another area where MFCs face difficulties. While they work effectively in small, controlled environments, scaling them up for industrial applications poses technical and economic challenges. The microbial efficiency, which is influenced by environmental conditions and the type of bacteria used, also affects the performance and reliability of these systems.
Future Prospects for Microbial Fuel Cells
The future of microbial fuel cells looks promising, with ongoing research and innovation aimed at addressing current limitations. Researchers are exploring cost-effective alternatives to traditional electrode materials and developing more efficient microbial communities to enhance performance. Advancements in system design, such as stacked MFCs, offer the potential to increase power output and scalability.
Integrating MFCs with other renewable energy technologies, such as solar and wind, could further expand their applications. For instance, hybrid systems could be developed to combine the strengths of multiple energy sources, making them suitable for diverse environments and needs. Additionally, expanding the use of MFCs in remote areas and off-grid communities could provide sustainable energy solutions where traditional infrastructure is unavailable.
Key Applications of Microbial Fuel Cells
Wastewater treatment: Break down pollutants while generating electricity.
Bioremediation: Clean up contaminants like heavy metals and hydrocarbons.
Desalination: Remove salt from seawater efficiently.
Biosensing: Detect pollutants and monitor microbial activities in real-time.
In Conclusion
Microbial fuel cells are a groundbreaking innovation at the intersection of biotechnology and sustainable energy. They hold immense potential not just for clean energy generation but also for addressing critical environmental challenges like waste management and pollution. While challenges such as low power output and scalability remain, ongoing research continues to refine and enhance these systems. With their ability to transform organic waste into electricity, MFCs exemplify the power of harnessing biology for technological solutions. By continuing to innovate and integrate this technology, we can move closer to a future where energy is clean, renewable, and accessible for all.
