Viruses running Batteries future



Future power electronic devices that are running can be in the form of a very small battery sizes up to half the size of the cells of the human body is made of viruses.

Researchers from MIT in the United States of America believe they were able to build such battery, through the casting mix engineer genetically a component of the virus M13 and the metal cobalt precipitated on a slice of silicon, Professor Angela Belcher and her colleagues made the battery microscopic soft easy to manufacture large quantities of them.




Theoretically, it is possible to transform any surface - from a huge detector to a small implanted in the body to monitor the cancer cells or to monitor the work of the heart - to a device for energy storage.


Note that Belcher and her colleagues were able to produce a first viral battery in 2006. Since that time, you are trying to improve the performance of viral battery to enable them to access to the source is too small to store energy that can be grown or buried in sensors or small devices.


Forget the Batteries 9 volt batteries and AAs and the AAAs or D batteries so that the standard used to run most of the hardware: the near future promised by electronic working batteries viral source (iStockphoto).


I've posted the details of this achievement was published in the Conference of the National Academy of Sciences, which show that the battery viral based on a substance called al-Qaeda and are mostly of silicon and collects the viruses M13 negatively charged atoms Article cobalt shipped a cargo of positive technology known as print or stamp Stamp.


Are printing on the material base and theoretically could be the norm any surface available, which means that viral battery that can make the lowest cost and high efficiency and many forms of flexibility and be able to install it in any form.
Alparvissourp Belcher says that the viral power of the battery than the battery twice chemical battery, although the virus is very small and reaches a few micrometers in diameter and requires a production period of time within the hour.
Belcher was able to produce viral-sized battery button shirt and used to run the laser pointer and this was the first attempt will certainly be the next test to run more of the devices by the battery, says Professor.
Are grouped viral battery at room temperature and used a small part of metal such as lithium or cobalt.


Applications
Because these batteries are very small it suitable as a source of energy for small devices such as devices that can be cultivated in the patient's body to monitor his health. Says Professor Belcher said that this technology has important applications, including monitoring the health of people living with heart disease or cancer, as the person who undergo surgery as a treatment of these diseases need to continuously monitor the performance of biological functions of different, and precision instruments and implants can be operated with batteries viral control protein resulting from the cancer cells renewable.


In the case of a threat, these devices will be issued to the light from the LED bulb, for example, to alert the patient and the nurse. May be the cause of saving the life of a patient before he suffered a heart attack.


Professor Belcher is very close to the development of this technology is expected to be valid for use and has many applications within the next two years.
It is also possible that scientists can increase the power of these batteries to be able to run computers or even a car battery was planted on the roof of the car instead of being placed next to the engine.


Professor Belcher says that the battery produces as part of the manufacture of the car where the roof is provided appropriate ion battery and the building itself.
