Batere and viruses? What relationship? Here, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was reverse a virus that can establish a Battery. If this is realized, the Battery technology is truly environmentally friendly (green battery) has arrived.

Mentioned, batere made from viruses that can be used to mendayai tiny electronic devices, such as mobile phone and MP3 player. In the future, they can also be used to memotori car. M13 virus used to make this batere only menginfeksi bacteria, so it is not dangerous to humans.

These are the development of a research conducted three years ago when the MIT team has formed a genetic virus-the virus that can build a anoda with the coat itself with cobalt oxide and gold and to build itself to form a nanowire. Batere anoda always have two, one of the positive (often made of cobalt dioxide) and a negative terminal (often made of graphite).

MIT researchers and the research focuses on the development of a cathode that can be paired with anoda. This task is not easy, but eventually the scientists could create a virus-the virus coat themselves with iron phosphate, and stick to the carbon nanotubes to create a network of highly conductive material. Electron-electron can walk along the carbon nanotubes to a network of iron phosphate with a very simple, which means that the transfer of energy in a very short time.

By using this development, researchers have created a coin-sized Battery. According to the test lab, batere this can be filled and re-use at least 100x without reducing capacity. Indeed, the endurance cycle contents are less than Li-ion Battery, Battery, but this can be expected to survive much longer.
