Biomolecular electronics bioelectronics and the electrical control of biological systems and reactions
Biomolecular Electronics - the electrical control of biological phenomena - is a scientific challenge that, once fully realized, will find a wide range of applications from electronics and computing to medicine and therapeutic techniques. This new arena of biomolecular electronics is approached us...
