MIT puts genetically modified virus in battery
 

Researchers from MIT researchers, who apparently have not watched any sci-fi horror movies, have been adding genetically modified viruses to the production of nanowires.

In a paper published in the journal Nature Communications, co-authored by graduate student Dahyun Oh, professors Angela Belcher and Yang Shao-Horn, and three others the idea was to develop stronger materials for the batteries’ electrodes and improving the number of charging-discharging cycles the batteries can cope with.
