This sounds interesting but the short article needs some editing to clarify some of the points. It reads as if no one took an opportunity to proof-read it before hitting the publish button.

"allowing bacteria to transport electrons over 100 times their size"

Have electrons have gotten a lot larger since I studied physics? I'm almost leaning to believe this poorly written article is random AI-generated text.

Gets cleared up later in the article

Quote It allows bacteria to produce to highest electric power reported possible so far and explains how these bacteria can survive without oxygen-like membrane-ingestible molecules and form communities that can send electrons over 100-times bacterial size. But to date, no one had discovered how they are made and what why they so conductive.

>But to date, no one had discovered how they are made and what why they so conductive.

I think the "what why they so" part really clears it up for me. LOL

This sentence you chose is the one that had me wondering whether anyone had even read it for clarity before posting.

Ironically the typo makes it less likely in my mind that it was machine generated...it's been a few generations since gpt would've made that kind of mistake.

I think they meant "over distances 100 times their size".

I don’t know about you guys but I’m sick and tired of stable protein nanowires of electric bacteria jerking us around like this. Quit playing with clues and just TELL US already smdh
