(If that pricing model sounds familiar, it should be - it's how long distance calling works.) But to make that system work, utilities will need to install smart meters in customers' homes capable of monitoring when cars are charging, and then to price the juice accordingly; smart meters are already being tested out by utilities...
...still far off - official plug-ins have yet to hit the street - but a few companies are already gearing up. A start-up called Coulumb Technologies in Campbell, Calif., is developing public charging points that would enable drivers to plug in and pay for the power they use. Another model altogether is Shai Agassi's Better Place, a company that wants to develop a vast infrastructure of public charging and "battery swap" stations. Agassi imagines a subscription model similar to how mobile phones work. Drivers would lease the batteries that power their electric cars, and be charged based...

Robert Horvitz, began studying the genes that control the development of the Caenorhabditis elegans, a 1 mm-long roundworm that biologists often use as a model organism, from newly-hatched larva to fully-grown adult...
