Getting Skin in The Game – Lipid bilayers power a microchipColumbia Engineering researchers have, for the first time, harnessed themolecular machinery of living systems to power an integrated circuit fromadenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of life. Is this reverseCyborg-ing?
Wear Your Sunscreen!After checking the math, our sun is theoretically capable of producing massivesolar flares 1000X greater than previously thought. Learn to read maps again people, ‘cause GPS will be toast.
Heal Thyself...“Tunable” phase shifting allows for designing materials that can repairdamage in self-assembling structures. Now first being hot, then cold, then hotagain is totally OK.
