From page 17...
... One key area could be modifying humans or animals to harvest natural internal chemical gradients to produce biobatteries ("a goat with an electric socket on its sided. Energy harvesting from natural sources could be the best solution for powering sensors or exfiltrating information..
From page 18...
... . Heller clescribed experiments aimed at developing an efficient nanomachine for converting chemical energy into mechanical motion using kinesin anti dynein nanomotor proteins with ATP synthase.
From page 19...
... The immune response system is a gold mine of information; by reading the immune system, one can obtain a history of exposures for the organism. One can use cell machinery to make more robust biological molecules, but it is important to remember that while some cells remain stable at 100°C, the indiviclual components may not be stable when taken out of the organism.
