A new invention of a disposable battery that folds like an origami star has been able to power biosensors and other small devices for use in challenging field conditions. There are microbial fuel cells that run on the bacteria that is provided in only a few drops of dirty water. There is an inlet in the battery that appears when it is unfolded and requires drops of dirty water to power the fuel cells to work. The story of creating this is stated by Seokheun Choi, "Commercially available batteries are too wasteful and expensive for the field"
