I imported all of the TOCs received to my Gmail account using gExodus. It is about 1700 mails and they occupied about 26MB.

I will move all my mailinglists and newsgroups subscription to my Gmail account, using it to view the mailing lists is convenient.

Gmail offered space for us to store nearly everything. Two tools offered us to import mails to Gmail box. Take a look at them and enjoy.

A group from MIT just published a paper of making electrical cells that are powered by plant proteins from the chloroplasts of spinach leaves. “They intergrated electrically active photosynthetic protein-molecular complexes in solid-state devices, realized photodetectors and photovoltaic cells with internal quantum efficiencies of approximately 12%.

“The molecules are delicate and tend to stop working when removed from their natural environment. So the researchers preserved them by mixing them with soap-like molecules called peptide surfactants. The protective molecules appear to form a shield around the energy-producing proteins, fooling them into thinking that they are still part of the plant.

“The proteins were layered on to a thin gold film, attached to a sheet of transparent, electrically conducting metal, and then covered with a top layer of organic, conducting material. When light is shone on to the unlikely sandwich, the proteins spit out electrons, which pass into the lower layer in the form of an electric current.

“The prototype cells still need a little refinement. At present, they can generate current for up to 21 days; then they give up.
