From Massachusetts Amherst microbiology research team has found a new method, it is possible to create a fine human hair than 6,000 times the biological wire, it is called “microbial nanowires.”

The researchers said that this microbial nanowires by a soil bacterium genetically modified after – sulfur-reducing bacteria to stick made of their diameter of 1.5 nm, a human hair is about one in 6000, but increased conductivity 2000 times and is very durable.

Principal investigator of the research team of Dr. Derek R. Lovley said microbial nanowires that can be mass-produced, because they are made of cheap materials, such as amino acids can be obtained by fermentation of bacteria.

Dr. Derek R. Lovley in an interview said: “We have the possibility for synthetic biology wires are very excited, they can be applied to electronic products and even new flexible solar devices.”

It is understood that the study was funded by the Office of Naval Research, and therefore microbial nanowires could also be used in the military field. For example, nanowires may supply current to the microorganisms, and the like to produce a gasoline fuel – butanol. In addition, the nanowires can also provide some microbes current, and collect contaminants, toxins or explosives signal.

For ordinary consumers, the main purpose of the microbial nanowires can be applied to the smart phone, so the small size of the phone is able to have more memory space.
