Silicon chip creates 64 DNA sequences in parallel using electric currents and water
Researchers at Harvard University have developed a semiconductor chip that can synthesize 64 different
Silicon chips have powered computing for half a century. Increasingly, they are also becoming platforms to read and manipulate biology at scale—recording from many neurons, reading many DNA sequences and now synthesizing DNA.
What if a computer chip could manufacture DNA? Researchers have now used semiconductor technology to write dozens of genetic sequences simultaneously.
Increasingly, they are also becoming platforms to read and manipulate biology at scale – recording from many neurons, reading many DNA sequences, and now, synthesizing DNA. Synthetic DNA underpins modern biology and medicine – diagnostics,
