Info Technology World WidePart Two, Number 2Technological applications in the tech area of "Synthetic Biology".In February, 2004, MIT's Technology Review revealed its annual selection of new technologies that are about to affect our lives in revolutionary ways either next year or during the next decade.The following excerpts, clips, or snips, come from the above review.
2. Synthetic Biology: Combined with simple bacteria, these networks could advance biosensing, allowing inspectors to pinpoint land mines or biological weapons; add human cells, and researchers might build entire organs for transplantation.
As the synergy between engineers and biologists grows, so do fantastic possibilities for personalized medicine, sensing and control, defense; almost any field conceivable. Number 3, Nanowires is next.
