Researchers at Concordia University have developed micro-photosynthetic power cells (µPSC).

These cells harness energy from algae through photosynthesis to generate electricity for low-power devices.

The cells use photosynthetic microorganisms and a membrane electrode assembly with microelectrodes coated in gold and a proton exchange membrane.

The study explored array configurations, such as series and parallel connections, to optimize performance.

The technology has the potential to power entire cities with further development and AI-assisted integration technologies.

This eco-friendly and cost-effective power source could become a viable, affordable, and clean energy solution in the future.
