The Power House

In the biology class, grumpy old teacher is trying so hard to explain student all about cells that make up a human and other creatures’ body. These cells are further subdivided into small units each uniquely working with their own vital functions; of Course we know that the nucleus is the center of all, but we are also aware of the significant role a mitochondria plays, it is actually the cell’s source of power. Today, another milestone is brought about by a meeting in the American Chemical Society of USA as a prototype cell is presented of which this little unit could actually be able to excise energy from all other sources besides the old usual energy producing ones.

The venture in bringing up this matter actually bridges the space between biotechnology and nanotechnology, Professor Plamen Atanassov, director of the Center for Emerging Energy Technologies at the University of New Mexico said. The developer of this project was actually Dr. Shelley Minteer of St Louis University in Missouri, US and her genius research team. The developer Minteer shares how the natural way of energy producing could also be adapted by technological devices in the near future.
