Scientists have developed and implanted into a living insect — the
False Death's Head Cockroach — a miniature fuel cell that converts
naturally occurring sugar in the insect and oxygen from the air
into electricity. They term it an advance toward a source of
electricity that could, in principle, be collected, stored and used
to power sensors, cameras, microphones and a variety of other
microdevices attached to the insects in a paper in the Journal of
the American Chemical Society.
