Summary

Silicon chips have been the foundation of modern computing for decades. Now, researchers are giving them an entirely new role in biotechnology. In addition to processing information, these chips are increasingly being used to study living systems by recording activity from neurons, reading DNA, and now even creating DNA. In a new study published in Nature Electronics , a Harvard led research team unveiled a silicon chip capable of synthesizing 64 different DNA sequences at the same time.
