You know the nanowires used in computers? Well, researchers from the U.S Navy have found a way to craft them from a genetically modified bacteria found just about anywhere on Earth. The team of researchers altered the bacteria so that it would be 2,000 times better at conducting electricity at the microscopic level while being more durable than the nanowires found in most electronics. Most importantly, you could produce computers that are eco-friendly right down to the materials in their processors.
