Like modern-day high performance machines, cells are constantly monitoring signals in their environment in order to “decide” on a course of action such as growth or movement. The signals are ...
Electronic gizmos and living cells alike can process signals, turning inputs into outputs—even recognizing when gray-area signaling is dark enough, or light enough, to justify decisions that are, well ...
A fundamental goal of synthetic biology is to predictably and efficiently reprogram cells to perform computations and carry out specific biological tasks 1. Cells genetically engineered with ...
In new research, Alex Green, an assistant professor at ASU’s Biodesign Institute, demonstrates how living cells can be induced to carry out computations in the manner of tiny robots or computers. The ...
Sexual size differences are widespread in biology, yet the "how" behind them often remains vague. We asked a concrete ...
Researchers have developed a miniature microscope that is designed for high-resolution 3D images inside the brains of living mice. The new, lightweight design could help scientists understand how ...
University of Delaware engineers have demonstrated a way to effectively capture 99% of carbon dioxide from air using a novel electrochemical system powered by hydrogen. It is a significant advance for ...
