Living Machines: Technology and biology are converging fast. The result will transform everything from engineering to art - and redefine life as we know it.
A Sensor That Knows How You Feel... ...And can tell you - or your boss - when you're getting too tired to function effectively, coming soon from Sandia Labs
Nanotechnology the Science of Small Things: According to most scientific accounts, the nanotech future may be 10 to 20 years off.
“ViriChip” shows up viruses: Scientists from BioForce Nanosciences, Iowa State University and Des Moines University in the US have coated a silicon chip with antibodies to make a device that can detect viruses when used in conjunction with an atomic force microscope (AFM). The device, dubbed the "ViriChip", could help save the lives of heart transplant patients by enabling doctors to find out quickly whether a donor heart is infected
Nanotech spy eyes life inside the cell: A team led by Bogdan Dragnea at Indiana University in Bloomington is exploiting the ability of viruses laden with gold to break into cells, along with the viral shell's own telltale response to laser light. Together these give an unprecedented picture of the chemical and physical activity in cells.
