Scientists are developing a way to use nature’s own power stations, mitochondria, to convert organic matter into energy. According to the BBC, scientists at St Louis University in Missouri, US have developed a prototype cell, similar to the ones our own bodies, which can convert almost anything into energy.

These highly efficient, clean energy conversion devices require very active catalysts for the chemical reaction—the oxygen reduction reaction, or the “lifeblood” that makes a fuel cell efficiently function. They then used high-temperature pyrolysis to convert the atoms to catalytically active sites within the framework.
