A random access memory for storing living cells

Advances in circuits typically refer to breakthroughs in computers, cell phones, and other advanced electronic devices. However, a more general notion of circuits refers to any integrated system which can move objects along specific paths, switch them at intersections, and control large numbers of them in parallel. In a recent report published in Advanced Materials, researchers from Duke University and University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill have developed and characterized one of the basic switching eleme
