Nature reports “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”.
