| Abstract | Title: Electronic Microparticles That Help Microbes Clean Waste and Generate Energy Microorganisms can produce both electricity and useful chemicals from wastes, but there are multiple technical problems that prevent these capabilities from being fully realized in real world applications. These problems slow the reactions of bacteria and make energy harvesting inefficient. This project will create tiny particles that combine solar-powered electronics with bacterial activity to accelerate these i |
