Miniaturization and power demands of future portable electronic devices require the development of high-power density, easily rechargeable and smallscale power sources. Single-chamber solid oxide fuel cells (SC-SOFCs) constitute a promising approach as the use of a mixture of fuel and oxidant permits simplification of conventional fuel cell systems and development of new cell configurations such as coplanar micro-electrode designs, where microscale anode and cathode are both situated on the same side of the electrolyte. However, the working principles of SC-microSOFCs are not yet fully...

Electricity is the central metaphor and expressive image in this unusual love story which takes place in an electrical repair shop. "It's fun to listen to BATTERY. Daniel Therriault's dialogue is a ripe blend of primitive slang and advanced metaphor, dotted with enough comedy to ward off weariness and pretense.
