3x battery power with biomedical research

Researchers at MIT accomplished to design a new battery that utilizes genetically modified virus that attracts cobalt oxide and gold, and assembled the metals into ultra-thin wires just six nanometres in diameter...This allows battery to store two or three times more energy for its size and weight compared to previous battery electrode materials. And adding the gold further increased the wires' energy density.
