Summary:
Scientists with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have designed an electrical link to living cells engineered to shuttle electrons across a cell's membrane to an external acceptor along a well-defined path. The Channels could yeild that could read and resond electron signals. Electronics capable of self-replication and repair, or efficiently transfer sunlight into electricity.

Opionion.
My opionion is that i this is some what pointless. It's cool and everything but there is no point behind it. I dont see how it helps humanity. They say it help produce more pharmaceutical drugs but i dont think that is a very big deal. I think that we should be working on bigger things such as better cures for cancer. Thats my opionon on electrons in living things to non-living things.
