Computers made from living cells, anyone? Two groups of researchers have independently built the first biological analogue of the transistor – an integral element of modern electronics. It should make ...

Researchers at Stanford University and the University of Pennsylvania reported in Science online (early content) on March 28 that they had engineered a genetic circuit that performs like a transistor ...

Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have used the self-assembly of DNA molecules to build electronic devices from carbon nanotubes. The DNA acts as a scaffold for positioning a ...

Forget Google Glass and all other human/machine interactions and combinations up to this point. Scientists have, according to a report in New Scientist, created the world’s first biological version of ...

Graphene is a sheet of carbon atoms arrayed in a honeycomb pattern, just a single atom thick. It could be a better semiconductor than silicon -- if we could fashion it into ribbons 20 to 50 atoms wide ...

All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links. Researchers at IBM ...

Forward-looking: The billions of transistors hidden within a single CPU are manufactured to execute just one specific function. A team of Viennese scientists, however, aims to introduce ...

IN THE DECADE since researchers first sequenced the human genome, obvious links between the genes and individual diseases have been slow to appear [see “Revolution Postponed,” by Stephen S. Hall; ...
