Original website : TED.com www.ted.com About this talk : Inspired by an abalone shell, Angela Belcher programs viruses to make elegant nanoscale structures that humans can use. Selecting for high-performing genes through directed evolution, she's produced viruses that can construct powerful new batteries, clean hydrogen fuels and record-breaking solar cells. At TEDxCaltech, she shows us how it's done. About Angela Belcher Angela Belcher looks to nature for inspiration on how to engineer viruses to create extraordinary new materials.
