It’s impossible to treat a patient effectively without knowing what’s wrong. Published this month in the American Journal for Human Genetics, computational biologist Dr. Mark Yandell reports a novel ...

New artificial proteins have been created to function as molecular logic gates. Like their electronic counterparts in computers, these biochemical tools can be used to program the behavior of complex ...

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote an article about a digital and analog circuit simulator called ksimus. One of my readers asked what the difference was between ksimus and ktechlab so I thought I'd take ...

YouTuber Steve Mould has created a great demonstration of computer logic gates using water, tubes, and 3D printed components. This innovative approach provides a tangible and visual way to understand ...

Sploid reader Kimberly Nguyen has spotted this really neat video demonstrating how computer logic gates work using just strings and weights. “I’m an Electrical Engineering/Computer Engineering major ...

The same basic tools that allow computers to function are now being used to control life at the molecular level. The advances have implications for future medicines and synthetic biology. Reporting ...
