In every human body, millions of cells are crawling around doing mostly good deeds -- though if any of those crawlers are cancerous, watch out.  |
| Computing building blocks created from bacteria and DNA Posted: 18 Oct 2011 08:19 AM PDT Scientists have successfully demonstrated that they can build some of the basic components for digital devices out of bacteria and DNA, which could pave the way for a new generation of biological computing devices.  |
| Posted: 18 Oct 2011 07:27 AM PDT The ability to see through walls is no longer the stuff of science fiction, thanks to new radar technology. Researchers have built a system that can see through walls from some distance away, giving an instantaneous picture of the activity on the other side.  |
| Can we share vampires' appetite for synthetic blood? Posted: 18 Oct 2011 06:51 AM PDT Vampires on the "True Blood" television series are already enjoying the advantages of synthetic blood.
