Utilizing research into Alzheimer's Disease, Tel Aviv-based StoreDot has discovered a way to make a bio-organic battery out of peptides. While the battery is still about a year away from a functional prototype within a phone, the company has successfully tested it and anticipates commercial availability within three years. If you're looking for a sign that it is legit, the company's successful tests involved integrating the battery of Samsung phones and developing a bio-organic display for the Apple iPhone. 

Additionally, Mother Nature's example is being followed in the solar energy space where photosynthesis is being emulated to separate hydrogen and oxygen for power generation. These new techniques are using a blend of technology and natural reactions that could revolutionize the way we both create and store energy. For more, tune in to the short clip below.

What other revolution are we on the cusp of thanks to technology?
