Power from the Petri Dish: 3D-Printed Biobatteries Run on Bacteria, Not Lithium

In a world hooked on lithium, rare earth metals, and disposable power cells, a quiet revolution just emerged from a university lab in upstate New York—and it runs on stainless steel and bacteria.

At Binghamton University, Professor Seokheun “Sean” Choi and his team have built one of the most powerful bacteria-based biobatteries to date. But the breakthrough didn’t come from exotic materials or billion-dollar backing. It came from teaming up with the guy downstairs.
