Why are the children in Haiti in high demand?

I hope this is not why?

The research team—which included Bettinger, materials science engineering postdoctoral researcher Young Jo Kim, and Jay Whitacre, professor of materials science and engineering and of engineering and public policy—was able to discover the tetramer structure of melanin by using it as a battery's cathode. However, in doing so, they also discovered that melanin exhibits a two-voltage plateau characteristic of normal battery materials, while outputting a surprisingly high voltage.

"The voltage we got out was high—comparable to what you would get for the best sodium-based cathode materials we would use in a battery," says Viswanathan. "So this was surprising to us: that we could take this material from biology, and it could function potentially as a very good cathode material."

"One of the great advantages of melanin is that it's a totally natural compound and biocompatible with the human body: hence its potential use in electronic devices that interface with brain neurons, for example."

Furthermore, the conventional process for synthesizing melanin is complex: several steps are hard to control, it can last up to 56 days, and it can result in disorderly structures

"Above all, we aim to produce transistors precisely in order to enhance this coupling of electronics with biological systems," Graeff said.

Those fucker need to burn!
