"The effect was identified only in a carefully crafted device and generated just 17 microvolts," reports Scientific American, "a fraction of the voltage released when a single neuron fires — making it hard to verify that some other effect isn't causing the observations." But if another group can verify the results, the experiment's lead says the next logical step is trying to scale up the device to generate a useful amount of energy.
