Luigi Catacuzzeno lines up a long, thin needle against a frog egg. Peering at it through a microscope, he turns the knob of a machine to nudge the needle a fraction of a micron forward.

This unusual arrangement is Catacuzzeno’s attempt to harvest energy from biological cells to power tiny electronics.
