Oh, this is really interesting! Researchers have discovered that some viruses, like the bacteriophage M13, can actually generate electricity when their coat of proteins is melted. This is known as pyroelectricity, and it could have some really cool applications in bioengineering. The researchers think that this discovery could lead to the development of new devices that use viruses as a power source. It's wild to think that something as small as a virus could be used to generate electricity!
