Electricity- conducting bacteria yield secret to tiny batteries, big medical advances
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190404143747.htm
Scientist believed Geobacter sulfurreducens conducted electricity through tiny hair like appendages, but a researcher from the University of Virginia School of Medicine determined that the bacteria transmitted electricity through immaculately ordered fibers. Researchers believe that the bacteria could be useful from harnessing power from bio energy to cleaning up pollution. The bacteria could be the bridge between electronics and living cells.
I think it's important we put a lot of time into this because it could really help advance the medical field and benefit the environment.
