Researchers Create World's Smallest Fuel Cell
Researchers at Illinois have created the world's smallest fuel cell. The hydrogen-fueled microfuel cell, which measures just 3 millimeters across, generates power without consuming it and could be used in place of batteries in portable gadgets. News about the tiny power pack, which was designed by Saeed Moghaddam, a postdoctoral research associate from the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering; Professor Richard Masel, also from the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering; and Professor Mark Shannon from MechSE, has appeared in New Scientist, Techworld and other news media.
