Generating Electricity Using Tips from Nature

Engineers long have known that great ideas can be lifted from Mother Nature,
but a new paper by researchers at Yale University and the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) takes it to a cellular level.
Applying modern engineering design tools to one of the basic units of life,
they argue that artificial cells could be built that not only replicate the
electrical behavior of electric eel cells but in fact improve on them.
