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
Neural interfaces have made great strides in recent years, but still suffer from poor longevity and resolution. Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a biohybrid implant to improve …read more Continue reading Biohybrid Implant Patches Broken Nerves with Stem Cells
Bioelectronics has been making great strides in recent years, but interfacing rigid electrical components with biological systems that are anything but can prove tricky. Researchers at the Laboratory for Organic …read more Continue reading Grow Your Own Brain Electrodes
Beef soup! You’d normally expect it to be somewhere from reddish-brown to grey, depending on how well it was cooked and prepared. However, strangely, an assistant professor found the beef …read more Continue reading The Blue Soup Saga Is One Beefy Mystery
By now everyone has probably seen the devastation wrought by the structural failure of what was once the world’s largest free-standing cylindrical aquarium. The scale of the tank, which until …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: December 18, 2022
Computers are, after all, frighteningly complex state machines. Quite of bit of the software we write can be modeled as a state machine, too. A great technological achievement by humans? …read more Continue reading Fourteen-Legged Cell Carries Nature’s Tiny Computer
We’ve all had to shake jars of nail polish, model paint, or cell cultures. Mixing paint is easy – but bacteria and cells need to be agitated for hours. Happily, …read more Continue reading Tube Tumbler Provides the Perfect Culture
Back in grad school, we biology students were talking shop at lunch one day. We “lab rats” were talking about the tools of the trade, which for most of us …read more Continue reading PiSpy, the Camera Setup Designed to Make Biological Observations Better
[Prof. Edwin Hwu] of the Technical University of Denmark wrote in with a call for contributions to special edition of the open-access scientific journal Biosensors. Along the way, he linked …read more Continue reading When Hacking and Biosensing Collide
