# Bodily Fluid Power Glucose Biofuel Cells Bring Science Closer to Body-Powered Electronics By Meghan Young | Published 2010-05-20 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glucose-biofuel-cells References: [technologyreview](http://www.technologyreview.com/biomedicine/25341/?a=f) Seems like science is getting techy with its latest endeavor, glucose biofuel cells. By implanting them into [living species](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biohybrid), researchers from Joseph Fourier University in Grenoble, France have discovered that [electrical power can be harnessed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/efficient-energy-harvesting) from the human body. What does that mean for us? Well, at the moment glucose biofuel cells are still in the testing stages. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Glucose Biofuel Cells:** Implanting biofuel cells into living species allows for the harnessing of electrical power from the human body. - **Body-powered Electronics:** Advancements in glucose biofuel cells bring us closer to the development of body-powered electronics. - **Bioenergy:** Exploration of glucose biofuel cells opens up avenues for innovative uses of bioenergy. ### Where This Applies - **Medical Devices:** Glucose biofuel cells have the potential to revolutionize the medical devices industry. - **Wearable Technology:** Advancements in glucose biofuel cells can disrupt the wearable technology industry by enabling self-powered devices. - **Alternative Energy:** Glucose biofuel cells offer disruptive innovation opportunities in the alternative energy industry by providing a sustainable source of power. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Battery-Free Health Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uci.md) - [Paper-Based Energy Storage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-battery.md) - [Energy-Generating Soccer Balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/energy-generating-soccer-ball.md) - [Glucose Monitoring Biosensor Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stelo-glucose-biosensor-system.md) - [Consumer Biowearable Device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biowearable-device.md) - [Kinetic Power Health Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mother-bracelet.md) - [Honey-Based Energy Gels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bfuel-honey-energy-gel.md) - [Bionic Knee Prostheses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/httpswwwmediamitedu.md) - [Soil-Powered Light Sources](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soli.md)
