Our bodies are biologically based and therefore are not equipped to communicate with electronics efficiently. New research could make it possible to genetically engineer our cells to be able to communicate with electronics. The development has the potential to allow us to eventually build apps that autonomously detect and treat disease.
It is of course an outdated model of how the neurons actually work. The current neural network research and development is more driven by mathematically techniques that ensure continuity and…

Small Things Considered is a microbiology blog by Moselio Schaechter that is designed to share appreciation for the width and depth of the microbial activities on this planet.
The advent of Web 2.0 applications, which enable information sharing and virtual networking, could revolutionize science. But are microbiologists taking advantage?
Welcome to Adopt A Microbe. Inspired by my brother and sister's suggestions, here at AAM you can take home a snuggly little bacteria, virus or parasite of your own, to love and care for.
