MENSA-LEVEL BACTERIA. "Computers are evolving – literally. While the tech world argues netbooks vs notebooks, synthetic biologists are leaving traditional computers behind altogether. A team of US scientists have engineered bacteria that could solve complex mathematical problems faster than anything made from silicon." https://lnkd.in/eFb4YZJ View in LinkedIn

ELECTRON FLOW AT HEART OF POWERHOUSES of life, just like in electrical devices. Mitochondrial operations have a lot in common with electrical devices, as they are 'quantized heat pumps' that also control electron spin and free radicals, forming magnetic memory like hard drives. This makes them harnessable like devices. Read this interesting perspective. https://lnkd.in/eqUST_2 View in LinkedIn

SWARM THINKING BUGS BUILD PYRAMID. "An electronic microcircuit that contains both the bacteria and an array of conductors that produce magnetic field ... the microcircuit can make the bacteria move in specific directions. A computer and an optical microscope provide a feedback loop, tracking the motion of the bacteria and adjusting the conductors to achieve the desired behavior." https://lnkd.in/evtUyJT View in LinkedIn

ATP CRITICAL TO LIFE. Trefoil (1992): "Hooking and unhooking that last phosphate (on ATP) is what keeps the whole world operating" and occurs about three times a minute in the billion ATP molecule per cell. Thanks to the ancient symbiotic bacteria in living cells. http://www.trueorigin.org/atp.php View in LinkedIn

BACTERIAL GAMES. "As a proof-of-principal for their bacterial communication system, the Japanese team created microbes that could solve a Sudoku puzzle." https://lnkd.in/eVjVdKt View in LinkedIn

WITHOUT MITOCHONDRIA AND CHLOROPLASTS, there would be no cellular energy, or ATP, and no life. In both cases, this energy is generated by harvesting high energy electrons in an electron chain reaction, from either sunlight in photosynthesis, or from sugars in respiration. https://lnkd.in/eFABf-W View in LinkedIn

BACTERIA CRACK SODUKO. Programming bacteria across a population is a way to develop swarm thinking, and an ability to solve moderately complex problems without overloading the programming capacity of a single individual. https://lnkd.in/evui9xK View in LinkedIn

PROGRAMMING BACTERIA. “We want to create a programming language for bacteria ... We want to program code for bacteria just like you would for a computer. A lot of the other work my lab does has to do with coming up with algorithms - just like a programmer would do – and converting that into a DNA sequence.” https://lnkd.in/eHJKT6U View in LinkedIn

BACTERIAL COMPUTING. "Researchers program bacteria to make computer-like decisions." https://lnkd.in/e7AX8yy View in LinkedIn

BUG COMPUTING POWER. "One gram of bacteria could store the same amount of information as 450 2,000-gigabyte hard disks... Because bacteria constantly reproduce, a group of the single-celled organisms could store a piece of information for thousands of years. So is it possible that a home computer could one day consist of a dish filled with micro-organisms?" https://lnkd.in/eDUTk7R View in LinkedIn
