Abstract

Inspired by the eel’s electric organ, Thomas Schroeder and colleagues built a device that provides electricity in a variety of situations (Nature 552, 214–218; 2017, and see go.nature.com/2hzh4jd). This example of technology derived from a biological concept has echoes of Alessandro Volta’s invention of the battery more than two centuries earlier
