Scientists create "bionic mushrooms": can use bacteria and graphene to generate electricity

According to foreign media reports, will you one day use mushrooms at home to generate electricity? Maybe not, but scientists have created a "bionic mushroom" that can generate electricity, and they may pave the way for a more practical bioelectric power system. The research team at Stephens Institute of Technology in New Jersey, led by Manu Mannorr and Sudeep Joshi, used a charged ink containing graphene nanoribbons to 3D print on top of the mushrooms.

Then they used biological ink containing cyanobacteria to print a spiral pattern on a branch pattern printed on the front with a 3D printer.

After that, scientists irradiated this mushroom with a beam of light to make it photosynthesis, and the electrons generated by it could pass through the outer membrane of the bacteria. At the point where the bio ink and electronic ink intersect, these electrons are transferred to the conductive mesh formed by graphene nanoribbons.

In the end, the system produced about 65 nanoamps. Although this is not enough to drive a device, scientists believe that if you use a group of mushrooms at once, you can light an LED. To this end, researchers are looking for ways to increase the electrical output of mushrooms.

Related research reports have been published in "Nano Letters".

Daoming Reflective Fabric use different resin, put the hi- reflective index`s glass bread on the base fabric well distributed. Behind all the glass bread has reflective layer coating.  When the light was on the surface,glass bread made light source to reflected light beam. The light passes through the incident - refraction - reflection process, showing bright light, forming a retroreflective function.Personal safety reflective fabric applied to fashion, shoes,hat,suitcase, sports, casual, decoration,security, advertisement and etc. Varies of product could meet customer`s customize.The application scene covered almost all the reflective field.

Our product conforms to EN471,australia standard AS/NZS4602 ,OEKO-TEX100 and ANSI107-1991
