A replacement for toxic lithium batteries.
Researcher has cross field interests in engineering and biology - called
"Biological Systems Engineering".
My impression is that a lot of tech advances come not at the cutting
edge of one field but in the intellectual cross fertilization of what may
seem to be very different fields. A classic of this being the MRI and
PET scan devices in medicine.
What do you all think?
