Surprise: use the virus to generate electricity
 |
Many people will feel horrified when they mention the virus. In fact, everything has its own strong side. Recently, American scientists have developed a new technology that can use the virus to generate electricity, and it is expected to charge the mobile phone in the future.
"The British Post" reported that the virus that this technology will use is called the M13 bacteriophage, which is piezoelectric, that is, when it is squeezed, it can convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Researchers layered the phage on a membrane, then stacked several layers of such membranes together and applied electrodes to the membranes to generate tiny currents by pressing the membrane.
Scientists at the University of California, Barclay, a researcher of the technology, believe that in the near future, devices such as “virus chargers†can be developed and people’s mechanical energy, such as walking, can be “collected†by such devices. It will be converted into electricity to charge the mobile phone.
Scientists said that the M13 bacteriophage is a potentially perfect source of energy because it devours bacteria only, is harmless to the human body, and is environmentally friendly. In addition, this kind of energy source is very cheap, and easy to obtain, can cultivate trillions of viruses from a flask containing infected bacteria.
In fact, life is full of harmful or harmless bacteria. If scientists can find a good way to “use waste,†the world will be even better.
