Researchers have used algae to power a computer continuously for a year. The algae harvests energy from the sun through photosynthesis which generates an electrical current. The Internet of Things is a vast and growing network of electronic devices that each use a small amount of power that collect and share real-time data via the internet, like smartwatches. The University of Cambridge said the system was a similar size to an AA battery and contained a non-toxic species of blue-green algae called synechocystis. What is your take on the new technology ?
