Batteries grown from ‘armour-plated’ viruses

Genetically engineered viruses that assemble into electrodes have been used to make complete miniature rechargeable a full virus-based 3-volt lithium ion battery that could boost battery performance.
Reason: nanostructured materials can store and release more power than conventional materials, and do it faster.
