MIT Engineers Create a Living Circuit Board From Bacteria
MIT researchers have engineered bacteria to behave like transistors, making it possible to build living “circuit boards” that can be printed onto growth material in a Petri dish. In conventional electronics, transistors act as switches that control whether electrical current flows. In the biological system developed at MIT, engineered bacteria perform a similar role by [...]
MIT researchers have created an innovative system that transforms bacteria into components similar to transistors, enabling the construction of living biological circuits. This approach can revolutionize the way we interact with biological systems,...
Colonies of bacteria can now add up signals and orient them, as an electronic circuit, but live. To achieve this, MIT researchers have modified the bacterium Pantoea agglomerans, which is common especially on plants.
