“Virus” Batteries Could Help Power Hybrid Vehicles
Could laboratory-grown viruses hold the key to powering hybrid vehicles of the future?
A team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology reports genetically engineering viruses that build both the positively and negatively charged ends of a lithium-ion battery.
The virus-produced batteries have the same energy capacity and power performance as state-of-the-art rechargeable batteries being considered to power [...]
