In many ways, life is like a computer. An organism's genome is the software that tells the cellular and molecular machinery - the hardware - what to do. But instead of electronic circuitry, life relies on biochemical circuitry - complex networks of reactions and pathways that enable organisms to function. Now, researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have built the most complex biochemical circuit ever created from scratch, made with DNA-based devices in a test tube that are analogous to the electronic transistors on a computer chip.

Read moreDas hat die Welt noch nicht gesehen: Ein Werkstoff, der quasi auf Knopfdruck seine Festigkeit aendert. Dieser Wandel in Sekundenschnelle kann durch Aenderungen der Elektronenstruktur eines Materials erreicht und so zum Beispiel aus einem festen und sproeden Stoff ein weicher und formbarer werden. Den entscheidenden Impuls liefern elektrische Signale, Clou dieser sensationellen Entwicklung.
