I have a new (or should I say old) offering for the Awoo pile.

But think of the oleophilic bacteria! You are going to destroy their habitat!

Or are you one of those "multicellular organisms are more important" people?

Ah yes, parody...I don’t think there are any bacteria that feed on electricity directly

Found accommodation and booked a flight. Barring more unforeseen incidents (which tbh have been a constant) I should be in Ireland next week 🇮🇪

Good to hear that thing are working out for you.

Well, no, the organisms which consume electricity in its purest form are photosynthesizers.

Ah, but they cheat by breaking up water and dumping the waste oxygen just to replace the electron lost.  They don't eat electrons off cathodes and spit them back out onto anodes directly.

But they do consume light in its purest form, I will grant that. ^_^

Light is electricity in its purest form. It is literally the force of electromagnetism happening.

How lovely, it seems I've accidentally started an argument.  As this is very much not a happy, I do apologize for attempting to share a scientific novelty and shall add it to the list of things to avoid in the future.

... This isn't an argument. I could argue about whether it's an argument if you want, but since I don't think you want it to be an argument, I don't think that would be worthwhile. I was just sharing some information because the article's claim that loose electrons are "electricity in its purest form" (which is completely illogical if you simply take into account, say, the fact that electricity can happen with no electrons involved whatsoever, such as when protons are flowing instead) amused me.

That information is that light is actually just ripples in the electromagnetic field, and thus the purest form of electricity it's possible to imagine. That isn't something to argue about, it's just a thing. Saying a thing isn't in itself an argument, right?

(also you kinda didn't have to be so passive-aggressive. Electron bacteria ARE interesting.)

Nope.  That would be entropic energy; heat.

Electricity is the flow of electric charges. Light is waves in the electromagnetic field. They're different things, even if both are subsets of the same general phenomena of electromagnetism.
