MIT’s Belcher uses engineered virus to split water
By Christine Peterson, on April 16th, 2010

Angela Belcher and team at MIT have tweaked a bacterial virus to serve
as a scaffolding to:

attract and bind with molecules of a catalyst (the team used iridium
oxide) and a biological pigment (zinc porphyrins). The viruses became
wire-like devices that could very efficiently split the oxygen from
water molecules.
Belcher says that

within two years she expects to have a prototype device that can carry
out the whole process of splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen,
using a self-sustaining and durable system.



This is insane. Remember Kurt Vonnegut's Ice Nine?

The geniuses in Industry can't even keep a simple thing like OIL out of
the oceans and you want to let this thing into the wild?

Wake up!
