Nanobatteries Power Artificial Eyes

Roland Piquepaille writes "A new U.S. research center, the National Center for Design of Biomimetic Nanoconductors, has been opened to promote new ideas in the field of nanomedicine. For example, a team of researchers at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) is developing a nano-size battery to be implanted in the eye to power artificial retina. But this center will also design and build 'nanomedical devices based on natural and synthetic ion transporters -- proteins that control ion motion across the membranes of every living cell.'"

You know, the picking on Piquepaille cliche is growing old. Yes it's a Slashdot [nay, Internet cliche] to complain about cliches growing old, but consider that Slashdot used to be so funny and interesting. What's more interesting than Natalie Portman naked and petrified after all?

Where's the creativity? Why not suggest that Terri Hatcher uses Nanobatteries in her personal massager, or that you're thinking of Roland naked and petrified?
