Millions of Bacteria Make Up Living Neon Sign!
Millions of Bacteria Make Up Living Neon Sign
In an example of life imitating art, biologists and bioengineers at UC San Diego have created a living neon sign composed of millions of bacterial cells that periodically fluoresce in unison like blinking light bulbs.
Their achievement, detailed in this week’s advance online issue of the journal Nature, involved attaching a fluorescent protein to the biological clocks of the bacteria, synchronizing the clocks of the thousands of bacteria within a colony, then synchronizing thousands of the blinking bacterial colonies to glow on and off in unison.
A little bit of art with a lot more bioengineering, the flashing bacterial signs are not only a visual display of how researchers in the new field of synthetic biology can engineer living cells like machines, but will likely lead to some real-life applications.

New Amiga X1000 Computer Comming Soon..
About this Computer!!
The AmigaOne X1000 is not like other computers. It’s based on a PowerPC CPU architecture, it includes Xena, a “Software Defined Silicon” co-processor, and above all it runs AmigaOS 4.
It is 26 years since the launch by US computer company Commodore of the Amiga A1000, a revolutionary machine that introduced multimedia and multi-tasking to the world. While AmigaOS has continued in development (making it possibly the longest developed and used desktop OS in the world) the hardware side has had a harder time of it since the demise of Amiga’s old parent company, Commodore.
A-EON technology, in co-operation with Varisys, Hyperion Entertainment and AmigaKit are creating a new high-end, prestige platform that will once more allow the Amiga Operating System to shine.
The X1000 ends the years of AmigaOS being relegated to a ghetto of outdated hardware – great as it was at the time, the world has moved on a long way since the days of Commodore. For the first time in many years, AmigaOS has a genuinely modern hardware platform.
