Researchers have built an AA-battery-sized device that ran an ARM device for six months, using photosynthesis as a power source.

Unlike a battery, this power source never runs out.

Scientists from the University of Cambridge have used algae to power a low-energy ARM computer chip for six months continuously. They hope that in the future, such natural power systems could be used to power Internet of Things devices.

University of Cambridge researchers have utilized algae to support a low-energy computer chip over the course of six months, proving the ingenuity behind biophotovoltaics.

Scientists say the system "has potential as a reliable and renewable way to power small devices".

Algae powers microprocessor for over a year, can become energy source for Internet of Things - The university said since the system is made from largely recyclable materials, it can be replicated thousands of times to power small devices.

Researchers have used a widespread species of blue-green algae to power a microprocessor continuously for a year - and counting - using nothing but ambient light and water. Their system has potential as a reliable and renewable way to power small dev

Scientists say the system "has potential as a reliable and renewable way to power small devices".

Researchers have created a system that uses photosynthesis from Synechocystis algae to power a microprocessor for a year straight.
