Some microbes, simple as they may be, have an ability to gather energy from extreme sources like sulfur, formic acid, minerals, and... electricity?

Scientists Reveal How Microbe 'Eats' Electricity

Yes, electricity. A team led by Peter Girguis from Harvard has discovered how a certain bacteria gets its energetic needs from electrons pulled from the environment. The results of this study were published in Nature Communications. Rhodopseudomonas palustris are gram-negative bacteria that has remarkable dexterity in obtaining energy and is able to take cues from the environment to employ photoautotropic, photoheterotrophic, chemoautotrophic, or chemoheterotrophic metabolism.

A group of scientists from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a system aimed at increasing the energy yield of plants through the use of nanomaterials.

Bionic Plants: Turning Plants Into Energy Producing Factories

Using a similar system, they also hope to be able to assign plants the novel function of chemical detection, which could be used to sense explosives amongst other things. This new field of research has been entitled plant nanobionics​, and it is hoped these findings will precipitate a wave of research into this exciting new area. In a paper released in Nature Materials yesterday, a team led by Michael Strano were able to improve a plants' ability to capture light energy by 30%. Alongside this, they were able to increase the photosynthetic ability of chloroplasts by almost 50% In a press-release, Strano said "Plants are a very attractive technology platform. Next, the team wanted to increase the amount of sunlight that the chloroplasts can use to make energy. Synthetic biology - what should we be vibrating about?: Drew Endy at TEDxStanford.

Old Masters at the Top of Their Game

LAPHAM Oct. 23, 2014. Resources for School Librarians. Exploiting Bacteria to Produce "Living Materials" A group of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have unveiled a system whereby bacterial cells are engineered in such a way that they incorporate specific non-living materials into their biofilms, creating a "living material".

Exploiting Bacteria to Produce "Living Materials"

Biofilms are generated when bacteria cluster together and stick onto a surface. Often the bacteria will secrete substances that assist in this adherence, such as proteins and carbohydrate polymers (called polysaccharides) which form a slime. Numerous different species of bacteria have been found to form biofilms including E. coli and P. aeruginosa​, and often more than one bacterial species is found within a biofilm. You might be more familiar with biofilms than you think, since dental plaque is a type of biofilm. Biofilms also often frequent pipes and can cause clogging and erosion. Socrative.

Spiritualism (philosophy) In philosophy, spiritualism is the notion, shared by a wide variety of systems of thought, that there is an immaterial reality that cannot be perceived by the senses.[1] This includes philosophies that postulate a personal God, the immortality of the soul, or the immortality of the intellect or will, as well as any systems of thought that assume a universal mind or cosmic forces lying beyond the reach of purely materialistic interpretations.[1] Generally, any philosophical position, be it dualism, monism, atheism, theism, pantheism, idealism or any other, is compatible with spiritualism as long as it allows for a reality beyond matter.[1][2] Theism is an example of a dualist spiritualist philosophy, while pantheism is an example of monist spiritualism.[2] Spiritualism has held a particularly prominent position in French philosophy.[3]
