Researchers explore alternate power sources, including glucose and air, that could someday reduce the dependence on batteries in medical devices.

Glucose is the most important energy source in the human body. Scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) now want to use the bodys ...

What if there was a piece of technology that was powered by the human body? Researchers at MIT are answering that question.

Glucose is the sugar we absorb from the foods we eat. It is the fuel that powers every cell in our bodies. Could glucose also power tomorrow's medical implants

MIT engineers have designed an ultrathin fuel cell that converts glucose directly into electricity. They envision the new design could be made into films or coatings and wrapped around medical implants to passively power their electronics using the body’s abundant glucose supply.
