If Marc Baldo has
his way, we might be using spinach to power our future gadgets. He and
other at MIT have developed a process that isolates photosynthetic
proteins from spinach and puts them between two layers of conducting
material, causing a small electric current to be generated when light
was shone on it -- the same proteins that form the chloroplasts inside
the plant's leaves, which convert light into energy via
photosynthesis. The biological solar cells aren't perfect, as they
give up the ghost after around 21 days. Surprisingly, though, they're
already hitting a 12 percent efficiency of conversion -- that's as
good as many conventional solar cells today.
I predict the biological stability of the spinach cells will
increase when married to a fixed solution of olive oil.

"In "Could
laptops run on spinach?," Nature reports that researchers from the
MIT have made solar cells powered by spinach proteins. These prototype
solar cells which transform light into 'green' energy could be used
one day to coat and power your laptop. There is still work to be done
before becoming a commercial product. Right now, the prototype
delivers current for only three weeks. And they are not very
efficient, converting only 12% of the light they absorb into
electricity. However, these spinach-powered solar cells are better for
our environment than silicon solar cells. And according to Science
News Online, in "Protein
Power: Solar cell produces electricity from spinach and bacterial
proteins," they also have the potential to be self-repairing.
You'll find more
excerpts on my blog." Anyone else think this sounds
ridiculously over-simplified? Thinking about how much energy would be
needed to run a laptop would suggest that spinach farming would have
to become mighty popular, and you may need to coat your house in
spinach if you wanted to actually use it to power a computer.
