Electric eel anatomy

ZDNet looks at new research that mimics electric eel cells to produce energy:

A team of U.S. engineers has found that it’s possible to build artificial cells replicating the electrical behavior of electric eel cells. In fact, these artificial cells deliver better performance than the real ones, called electrocytes, which can generate electric potentials of up to 600 volts. Continued at ZDNet…

If you find research and development like this interesting, then set aside Monday, Oct 20th for the Biomimicry Institute’s first conference.
