Battery electrodes made by viruses

There will be a day when you don’t consider computer viruses bad, because your computer is made by viruses! A group in MIT used a genetically modified viruses to fabricate nanoscale battery electrodes. This type of viruses can line up and coat themselves with metal. The results will be published on Science (Nam et. al.). How wonderful will it be if wacky viruses can assemble transistors for us, and Intel makes CPUs in the way Budweiser makes beer!
