UMD team to build a new generation of small, powerful and highly efficient batteries and fuel cells

An interdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Maryland, including Reza Ghodssi (ECE/ISR), (pictured),  James Culver (IBBR), and Chunshsheng Wang (ChBE), is harnessing and exploiting the "self-renewing" and "self-assembling" properties of viruses for a higher purpose: to build a new generation of small, powerful and highly efficient batteries and fuel cells. The Clark School of Engineering press release titled, Bad Virus Put to Good Use, was featured in the NSF e-newsletter and the UMD front page.
