For the first time, MIT researchers have shown they can genetically engineer
viruses to build both the positively and negatively charged ends of a
lithium-ion battery.
The new virus-produced batteries have the same energy capacity and...

One problem with solar cells is that they only produce
electricity during the day. A promising way to use the sun's energy more
efficiently is to enlist it to split water into hydrogen gas that can be stored
and then...
