In contrast to the  complex sorts of experiments going on night and day at particle accelerators around the world, Madiraju, a 16-year old student from Montreal, happened across an amazingly simple way to generate electricity. His solution, with potential applications ranging from clean-running powerplants to micro-power sources for nanotechnologies? </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.emergetrends.com/index.php?id=145"><DIV>Magnetic bacteria.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.emergetrends.com/index.php?id=145"><DIV>Madiraju has found a way to generate roughly half the power of a standard AA battery with about an ounce of the bacteria- which is commonly found in water- for 48 hours.
