Angela Belcher: Using nature to grow batteries
Loading...
Uploaded by TEDtalksDirector on Apr 27, 2011
http://www.ted.com Inspired by an abalone shell, Angela Belcher programs viruses to make elegant nanoscale structures that humans can use. Selecting for high-performing genes through directed evolution, she's produced viruses that can construct powerful new batteries, clean hydrogen fuels and record-breaking solar cells. At TEDxCaltech, she shows us how it's done.

Why couldn't I have a prof or teacher like her? Quite inspiring and I love that she hands out small periodic tables that say "Welcome to MIT, now you're in your element." Clever and thoughtful. Great talk.
