Researchers find a way to turn air into electricity

An air turning  into electricity is possible because of research made by the brilliant minds of  scientists. An enzyme that can turn air into electricity has been found, according to a group of researchers from Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.

This hydrogen-consuming enzyme was discovered in a typical soil bacterium, and it was found to use the atmosphere as an energy source to produce electrical current.

The team's understanding of how bacteria survive in diverse biodiversities, such as Antarctic soil or volcano craters, has been greatly improved by this groundbreaking discovery.

Because it effectively generates energy out of nothing, the enzyme known as "Huc" was shown to be stable.

The purified form of huc can be stored for a long time at temperatures as low as -80 degrees Celsius, according to experiments. Even its ability to produce electricity won't be diminished.

Small air-powered devices have already been used to test Huc. Structure as the basis for bacterial energy extraction from atmospheric hydrogen was described in full in the Nature journal.
