A widespread misconception about the deep subsurface is that this realm consists of […]
Programming cells with computer-like logic
Novel RNA nano-devices in living cells can sense and analyze multiple complex signals for future synthetic diagnostics and therapeutics The frontier of biology, DNA and computation is developing at an accelerating rate – the future of computation is deeply entangled with the mind-machine interface and even integration – the boundaries between technology biology are blurring.

Biochemist creates CO2-eating light that runs on algae
Our atmosphere is filling up with CO2 and we seem to be the major cause of that. The generally accepted solution seems to be cutting back on emissions as quickly as possible, but implementing such cuts is problematic because everyone has to agree to do more, which essentially ends up costing a lot of time […]
