If you’re expecting an important visitor but you just have to step out for a moment, an electronic doorbell memory can come in handy so you can see whether someone rang while you were out. Of course, ...

Any robot that moves needs actuators—motors that move parts of the robot around. While robot actuators have been around since the dawn of machines, they have some issues. For one, it is very difficult ...

Those circuits depend on enzymes known as recombinases, which can cut out stretches of DNA, flip them, or insert them. Sequential activation of those enzymes allows the circuits to count events ...

A significant development in understanding the brain: Scientists have, for the first time ever described the mushroom body connectome within the brain of fly larvae (Drosophila melanogaster) -- the ...

Non-volatile bistable memory circuits pave the way for highly energy-efficient CMOS logic systems. Non-volatile bistable memory circuits being developed by Satoshi Sugahara and his team at Tokyo Tech ...

A central goal of synthetic biology is to create cellular networks that integrate input signals for decision making and actuation 1. In recent years, artificial logic gates 2,3,4 and memory devices ...
