Collectively, better tools, well-characterized parts and a comprehensive understanding of how to compose circuits are leading to a breakthrough in the ability to program living cells for advanced applications, from living therapeutics to the atomic manufacturing of functional materials.
POWER TECHNOLOGY group ABB has made a breakthrough in the ability to interrupt direct current (DC), solving a 100-year-old electrical engineering puzzle, paving the way for a more reliable electricity system.
But a recent breakthrough in the ability to transform skin cells into stem cells and then into nerve cells has Margolis and his research partner, Hongjun Song, poised to make progress in exploring schizophrenia at the cellular level, with the help of a two-year $275,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health, underwritten by the federal stimulus package.
The central breakthrough was the ability to reset DNA, to move a cell backward, step by step, until it becomes the precursor of any aging cell in your body.
A breakthrough in the ability to collate and integrate pertinent data types and annotations relating to such data into one file that is compact and platform-independent was the iSee platform [3].
They could lead to such breakthroughs as the ability to "paint" the LEDs onto silicon, for example.
And today, economists are optimistic that all the new digital sources of information — Big Data, in the popular shorthand — will open the door to breakthroughs in the ability to measure, monitor and perhaps guide the economy.
While humans have used accumulated knowledge and technology to grow ever-more food for thousands of years, modern computing power has led to breakthroughs in the ability to collect, exchange, process, and synthesize data in ways that promise to transform agriculture into a sustainable enterprise that meets the projected mid-century food demand of 9 billion people.
NO2 exposure greatly reduced the SO2 breakthrough time and the ability of the material to remove cyclohexane.
These estimates are so massive because the breakthrough technology has the ability to extend itself into so many markets — gaming, education, productivity and even adult entertainment.
