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.
In a step toward developing better fuel cells for electric cars and more,
engineers at MIT and two other
institutions have taken the first images of individual atoms on and near the
surface of nanoparticles key to the eco-friendly energy storage devices.
