Hunter's comment

Inkjet printed cyanobacteria into the paper produce electricity. iPad size printed bio-solar wallpaper could power a digital clock.
Cyanobacteria the longest survivors on the earth, billions of years, They are responsible for the Oxygen-rich atmosphere. Cyanobacteria is used as an ink in the inkjet printing process and printed electrically conductive carbon nanotubes into a paper.
The photosynthesis process produces electricity.

Luckily the cyanobacteria survived the printing process and it is producing electricity.
These cyanobacteria lived billions of years to give us a biggest turning point in power and products.

Now that is really cool to be printing something that generates electricity. However, I quote this from the website:

small amounts of electrical energy could be harvested over a period of 100 hours.

That makes me wonder: how much electricity will be spent on the 3D printer for 100 hours before you can print a cyanobacteria that produces small amount of energy? And with that ratio, is it worth doing it further if you spend 100 hours harvesting just small amount of energy?

electricity is produced by the printed paper. Printing is done by Inkjet printer, not a 3D printer. A small piece of iPad size paper gives a power within the time limit to power up a clock or a led bulb. Technology has to go further, it will take a run. Printing a living microorganism in patterns and it gives electricity through their life from the printed paper is the awesome initial steps in the research. Thank you @macoolette

Oh yeah... To your point, this is indeed a great start of discovery. I should have mentioned that hopefully the researchers would explore further about the cost and benefits analysis in having this product.

Thanks for the clarification.

Congratulations!
