Artificial bone gets natural gradually
Coat a porous material with a gene-delivering virus in decreasing
amounts from one end to the other and you can grow artificial bone that
gradually transitions to ligament... [more]
Process prototypes paper biochips
Expose specially treated sheets of paper to ultraviolet light and heat and you can quickly and cheaply make prototype biochips. [more]
Plastic transistors get wet
Cook up organic transistors from the right plastic and you have chemical and biological sensors that can survive watery environments. [more]
Prototype promises practical quantum crypto
Bring together two single photons emitted by two tiny clouds of atoms and you have the basic component of a quantum repeater. [more]

is to the rest of science what machine tools are to engineering. A
corollary is that science places power in our hands which can be used
for good or ill. Technology has been abused in this way throughout
the ages from gunpowder to atomic bombs." - John Pendry, Imperial College London |
