A team of researchers at the University of Maryland's A. James Clark School of Engineering and College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, headed by Professor Reza Ghodssi, is studying the use of the Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) as a component of the next generation of minute, yet extremely powerful batteries. TMV is a plant virus that attacks crops such as tobacco, tomatoes, and peppers, but studies have shown that it can be modified to bind to battery electrodes and assist in the chemical reactions that generate power.
