SIMPLIFIED: "Microbial fuel cells: a comprehensive review for beginners"
Link: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8088421/ Note: The image above was taken from the original article. This article goes over what microbial fuel cells are! Basically, because of climate change, global warming, and a need for cleaner energy, microbial fuel cells allow electricity to be produced using wastewater bacteria. When bacteria eat food (since living organisms need food to survive), they naturally release electrons. Usually, these electrons just go somewhe

SIMPLIFIED: "High voltage generation from wastewater by microbial fuel cells equipped with a newly designed low voltage booster multiplier (LVBM)"
Article Link: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-75916-7#Sec6 Note: The image above was taken from the original article. This article explores the possible use of a low voltage booster multiplier, also referred to as an LVBM. To even start explaining what an LVBM is and why it is needed, we need to explore microbial fuel cells. Microbial fuel cells, also called MFCs, are electrochemical systems that can basically turn organic waste into electricity and energy. The s

SIMPLIFED: "Development of a Low-Cost Passive Strain Senor for Bridge Structural Health Monitoring"
Link to original article: https://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/26/6/1963 Note: The image above was taken from the original article It is obvious that if a bridge starts to stretch or collapse, then that bridge is unsafe for cars or even people to be on. This is even more clear in that in the past, there have been countless collapses in various bridges leading to countless deaths and casualties. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to see when a bridge starts stretching. To track t
