DNA Assembled Nano-Transistors
Bob Vila's Hammer writes "In an article at New Scientist, researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have harnessed DNA to mold a nano-transister constructed of graphite nanotubes coated in silver and gold. The carbon nanotube assembly when completed is a fully working transistor when voltage is applied. The process is ingenious, using proteins from E. Coli bacterium to bind carbon nanotubes to certain sites on strands of DNA. Then graphite nanotubes coated with antibodies connect to the proteins. Finally, silver ions are added to the solution which chemically bond with the DNA site where the protein is attached. Further refinement of the technique is required before full scale production would be efficient, but this could allow the creation of elaborate self-assembling DNA sculptures and circuitry."
YOU FUCKING NIGGER
you stole the first post with some stupid faggot simpsons quote, god damn you are a lame nigger & should be lynched ASAP
I'm going to wear your pussy as a hat and eating your ovaries with baking soda & clam chowder.
You know slashdot can't endorse a female scientist! Besides, it's a more compelling story when you have to restart your work every few days after a suicide bombing disrupts it.
Blar.
