用自然来培育电池

Nature crafts materials like the abalone shell, which is 3,000 times tougher than chalk, by organizing matter at the nanoscale through genetic blueprints. Inspired by these processes, researchers have programmed viruses to assemble batteries, solar cells, and catalysts using non-toxic chemistry at room temperature. By harnessing billions of engineered viruses, they can select and evolve the best candidates for building advanced devices. These breakthroughs point to a future where biology helps create materials never before seen in nature.
