A novel micro-technology, which captures the electrical power generated by the photosynthesis and respiration of blue-green algae, has been created by Optical Bio Microsystem scientists. This scalable technology enables economical ways of generating clean energy, and may be the superlative, carbon-free power source for the mitigation and eventual erasure of global warming.

Both photosynthesis and respiration, which take place in plants cells, involve electron transfer chains...
