In his New York Times article Smaller Computer Chips Built Using DNA as Template, Kenneth Chang wrote:
In an advance that might provide a practical method for making molecular-size circuits, the smallest possible, scientists in Israel used strands of DNA, the computer code of life, to create tiny transistors that can literally build […]
You see where I’m going with this…genetic sequences that express as skin cells with toxic substance-detection capability.
It starts here: as Karen Lurie writes in ScienCentral: Super Screener, Lydia Sohn and Omar Saleh have fabricated a miniscule, silicon-based sensor that functions much like a pore.
An artificial pore etched into a […]
Thanks to Roland Piquepaille’s Technology Trends blog for finding Pitt research delves into amazing shrinking computer chips.
Next step (an admittedly big one): nanoscale genetic assemblers generating custom genomes that express as fermionic biodevices with controllable quantum properties – like entanglement.
Meaning…a cluster of synthetic neurons designed to translate between languages (yeah, I […]
…sooner than I expected.
Today smokestacks, tomorrow bronchii: Progress in creating artificial virus.
I’m just sayin’…
In the Fall/Winter 2003 Issue of CIO Magazine, MIT’s Negroponte writes extensively about his dystopiean vision of future developments in GNR – genetics, nanotechnology and robotics. What surprised me is what he doesn’t mention – in fact, what I’ve yet to find explicitly published anywhere.
Homo Syntheticus. The ultimate GNR convergence. The species destined to supplant […]
