Pictured: Drosophila melanogaster, more commonly referred to as the fruit fly. During development, synapse formation in the central nervous system of this tiny fruit fly utilizes mechanisms conserved ...

Ten years since the introduction of the field's inaugural devices—the genetic toggle switch (J.J.C. and colleagues) 1 and repressilator 2 —synthetic biologists have successfully engineered a wide ...

An op-amp operates on analog input. It can be used to amplify or attenuate this input, and to carry out mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, integration, and differentiation. Because ...

Researchers have developed an adapator that makes the genetic engineering of microbial components substantially easier and more predictable. Synthetic biology is the latest and most advanced phase of ...

Individual transistors made from carbon nanotubes are faster and more energy efficient than those made from other materials. Going from a single transistor to an integrated circuit full of transistors ...

The project “REU Site: InSPiRES: Integrated Circuits and Semiconductor Processes to Promote Responsible Engineering and Sustainability” is an NSF-funded multidisciplinary, workforce development ...
