Cyborg Cells Sense Humidity: "Gadgetizer writes 'Mark Peplow over at Nature.com published this story on 'Cellborg Technology' yesterday: 'Living bacteria have been incorporated into an electronic circuit to produce a sensitive humidity gauge. The device unites microbe and machine, taking advantage of the properties of both to make for a supersensitive sensor. 'As far as we know, this is the first report of using microorganisms to make an electronic device,' says Ravi Saraf, a chemist from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, who developed the 'cellborg' with his student Vikas Berry.'"

Next on the agenda: T1000.
