It's good to see this technology progress. I originally read about this type of technology a couple years back. Last time I read about it, they were using some type of bacteria that ate sugar and produced a weak electric current, but maybe they found out how that happened and cut out the middle man (the bacteria). The real world uses would be amazing, such as a pacemaker or artificial heart pump that ran off the sugar in your own blood.

.........such as a pacemaker or artificial heart pump that ran off the sugar in your own blood.

Would that give new meaning to the term "Sweet Heart"? :thinking:
Sorry I couldn't resist.
