Bundles of Microtubes Developed by Peptides Convert Thermal Energy into Electrical Energy

Bundles of Microtubes Developed by Peptides Convert Thermal Energy into Electrical Energy

Several proteins and peptides can naturally assemble themselves into slender, long fibers known as fibrils and other shapes. Researchers have now discovered a method to harness this feature in order to develop tubular structures of diphenylalanine that are capable of converting thermal energy into electrical energy, also known as a pyroelectric effect.
