Fantastic. It’s especially neat because TiO2 should be available bulk as well, so the next step would be to buy that and make more and larger cells.

I think anthrocyanin is an old-timey term for anthocyanin glycosides, but I could be wrong. I did some work with anthocyanins as an undergrad and we called them anthocyanins no matter what was stuck to them. However, I'm pretty sure that they flashed the structure of taxol when they were talking about anth(r?)ocyanins. Still, neat video. Could be a spiffy science fair type project for anyone with younger siblings. Found a website on how to home brew your own conductive glass (new window).

That’s AWESOME!!! didn’t realize titania was in donut powder, though it isn’t surprising.
(but there’s no R in anthocyanin)

I hate to say it, but I am pretty sure Homer would disapprove of using donuts for anything other than his eating.
