Synthetic biology applies genetic tools to engineer living cells and organisms analogous to
the programming of machines. In materials synthetic biology, engineering principles from …

Recent advances in synthetic biology and materials science have given rise to a new form of
materials, namely engineered living materials (ELMs), which are composed of living matter …

Wearable electronic devices are playing a rapidly expanding role in the acquisition of
individuals' health data for personalized medical interventions; however, wearables cannot …

The excessive consumption of fossil fuels causes massive emission of CO2, leading to
climate deterioration and environmental pollution. The development of substitutes and …

Multifunctional living materials are attractive due to their powerful ability to self-repair and
replicate. However, most natural materials lack electronic functionality. Here we show that …

Carbon-rich waste materials (solid, liquid, or gaseous) are largely considered to be a burden
on society due to the large capital and energy costs for their treatment and disposal …

Sophisticated devices for remote-controlled medical interventions require an electrogenetic
interface that uses digital electronic input to directly program cellular behavior. We present a …

Electroactive bacteria produce or consume electrical current by moving electrons to and
from extracellular acceptors and donors. This specialized process, known as extracellular …

We developed a bioelectronic communication system that is enabled by a redox signal
transduction modality to exchange information between a living cell-embedded …

Measuring biological data across time and space is critical for understanding complex
biological processes and for various biosurveillance applications. However, such data are …
