A team of #researchers at the #IstitutoItalianoDiTecnologia ( #IIT - #Italian Institute of #Technology ) has #created a totally #edible & #rechargeable #battery - starting from materials that are normally consumed as part of our daily diet. The #ProofOfConcept #BatteryCell has been described in a paper, recently published in the #AdvancedMaterials journal. The possible applications are in #health diagnostics, #FoodQuality #monitoring & edible soft #robotics .

I guess it's customary to make an #introduction post:

I'm a postdoctoral researcher at the #IstitutoItalianoDiTecnologia. My background is #nanomedicine #drugdelivery and #bionanointeractions. Currently working on #nanoparticle delivery across the blood--brain barrier for treating neurodevelopmental diseases. Originally from the U.S. but have been living and working in Europe for close to a decade.

I don't think that Twitter will ultimately die, but I'm a big fan of #FOSS.
