A squad at MIT has figured out a way to mutate viruses so that they churn out nanowires and assist build extremist - tiny battery . The mutations bring on in several ergonomics and fabric skill science lab at MIT hasten the little bugs to construct their knocked out shells out of cobalt oxide — not a healthy matter for the computer virus , but a great thing if you want to construct a battery anode at nanoscale . Sound complicated ? Think of it this way : The virus shells are like the “ peel ” of the virus . Researchers have mutated these viruses to grow “ skin ” out of metal . I ca n’t look for my mutant metal peel power ! [ MIT engineeringviaBoingBoing ]
