Using viruses to harvest energy for mobile devices
For years, researchers have worked on fascinating methods to scavenge power from kinetic energy -- humming air conditioning ducts, roads that vibrate as cars pass over, etc. Now, engineers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are integrating viruses into small devices that convert mechanical energy into electricity. The harmless viruses exhibit natural piezoelectric properties -- when [...]Original Link: http://feeds.boingboing.net/~r/boingboing/iBag/~3/XCwYS3K2FVE/using-viruses-to-harvest-energ.html
