Authors have developed a phage-based piezoelectric generator that produces
up to 6 nA of current and 400 mV of potential and use it to operate a
liquid-crystal display. Because biotechnology techniques enable
large-scale production of genetically modified phages, phage-based
piezoelectric materials potentially offer a simple and environmentally
friendly approach to piezoelectric energy generation.
