The Electric Eel Is a Living Battery — and It’s Rewriting Physics
How a 2.5-meter predator generates 860 volts at will, and what engineers are learning from its stacked muscle-cell architecture to build biological batteries.
Bacteria That Breathe Electricity Are Colonizing Ocean Floors
Geobacter species transfer electrons across centimeters of sediment, behaving like living electrical cables. Researchers now want to farm this process for clean energy.
