Enzyme Bio-Battery Runs on Ethanol

mpthompson writes "According to this article at New Scientist.com substantial progress is being made on enzyme-catalyzed ethanol based batteries to run cell phones and laptops. Such batteries promise to be cheaper, safer and less toxic than previously demonstrated methanol based fuel cells."

Think about the current state of technology. Nanotech is sort of biotech (think flagella motors), material science's self assembling structures are really bio-tech. Eventually all companies in the manufacturing category will be biotech companies. When your batteries are bio/nano tech based, your screen is organic, and your RAM is nano/chemo-electric.
