[Technistuff] read a paper about simulating a “minimal” cell — apparently a cell with only 493 genes. This led to a goal: reproduce the simulation in TypeScript so it can …read more Continue reading Simulating Cellular Biology in the Browser
Researchers in Beijing have discovered a way to turn succulents into supercapacitors to help store energy. While previous research has found ways to store energy in plants, it often required …read more Continue reading Succulents into Supercapacitors
When we think of bacteria, we think of simple single-celled organisms that basically exist to consume resources and reproduce. They don’t think, feel, or remember… or do they? Bacteria don’t …read more Continue reading Some Bacteria Could Have A Rudimentary Form Of Memory
Even though it may seem like we have already explored every single square centimeter of the Earth, there are still many areas that are practically unmapped. These areas include the …read more Continue reading Exploring Tropical Rainforest Stratification Using Space-Based LiDAR
For hundreds of years, Icelanders have relied on the ocean for survival. This is perhaps not surprising as it’s an isolated island surrounded by ocean near the Arctic circle. But …read more Continue reading No Fish Left Behind
Members of Pixelbar woke up to shocking news on Wednesday morning this week as they learned that a fire had destroyed the building housing their Rotterdam hackerspace. Pictures of the …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: July 2, 2023
Some of us jokingly refer to our hobbies as “mad science,” but [Justin] from The Thought Emporium could be one Igor away from living up to the jibe. The latest …read more Continue reading Get Your Leafy Meats
Interfacing biological and electrical systems has traditionally been done with metal electrodes, but something flexible can be more biocompatible. One possible option is 3D-printed bioelectric hydrogels. Electrically conductive hydrogels based …read more Continue reading Hydrogels for Bioelectronic Interfaces
Some of you may remember that the ship’s computer on Star Trek: Voyager contained bioneural gel packs. Researchers have taken us one step closer to a biocomputing future with a …read more Continue reading Ecological System Dynamics for Computing
Feral cats live a rough life, and programs like Trap, Neuter, Release (TNR) attempt to keep their populations from exploding in a humane way. Researchers in Massachusetts have found a …read more Continue reading Spaying Cats in One Shot
