Call it the final frontier: the semiconductor industry has finally figured out how to embed silicon chips inside living cells.
The continuing miniaturization of the fabrication process — we’re now at 22 nanometers — has allowed Spanish researchers to begin integrating nanoelectronic components with living cells, according to a Nanowerk report.
Until now, scientists have only been able to embed living cells in nanoelectronics. Now technology is small enough to perform the reverse.
