Introducing a Biologically Powered Chip
The ability to add the functionality of biological systems to CMOS circuits can one day lead to creating an entirely new class of sensors.
Jul 20 2017 | By Holly Evarts
Columbia Engineering researchers have, for the first time, harnessed the molecular machinery of living systems to power an integrated circuit from adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of life. They achieved this by integrating a conventional solid-state complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuit with an artificial lipid bilayer membrane containing ATP-powered ion pumps, opening the door to creating entirely new artificial systems that contain both biological and solid-state components.
“With appropriate scaling, this technology could provide a power source for implanted systems in ATP-rich environments such as inside living cells,” says Jared Roseman PhD’15, who led the study with Kenneth Shepard, Lau Family Professor of Electrical Engineering and professor of biomedical engineering. In Shepard’s Bioelectronics Systems Lab at Columbia, researchers are focused on exploiting silicon integrated circuits—typically used in computers and smartphones—as a platform for exploring the life sciences.

Abstract
Due to its amphiphilic property, graphene oxide (GO) can achieve a variety of nanostructures with different morphologies (for example membranes, hydrogel, crumpled particles, hollow spheres, sack-cargo particles, Pickering emulsions, and so on) by self-assembly. The self-assembly is mostly derived from the self-concentration of GO sheets at various interfaces, including liquid-air, liquid-liquid and liquid-solid interfaces. This paper gives a comprehensive review of these assembly phenomena of GO at the three types of interfaces, the derived interfacial self-assembly techniques, and the as-obtained assembled materials and their properties. The interfacial self-assembly of GO, enabled by its fantastic features including the amphiphilicity, the negatively charged nature, abundant oxygen-containing groups and two-dimensional flexibility, is highlighted as an easy and well-controlled strategy for the design and preparation of functionalized carbon materials, and the use of self-assembly for uniform hybridization is addressed for preparing hybrid carbon materials with various functions. A number of new exciting and potential applications are also presented for the assembled GO-based materials. This contribution concludes with some personal perspectives on future challenges before interfacial self-assembly may become a major strategy for the application-targeted design and preparation of functionalized carbon materials.
Keywords: amphiphilicity; graphene oxide; interface; self-assembly.

Saudi Arabia grants robot citizenship

Saudi Arabia claims to be the first country to have granted citizenship to a robot. But the decision has garnered mockery from social media users as the robot may have more rights than human women in the kingdom.

Meet Twitter's second biggest shareholder, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal
Published
8 October 2015
Prince Alwaleed bin Talal and his investment firm now owns just over 5%, which is more than Twitter's new chief executive Jack Dorsey.
His cash injection comes at a critical time for Twitter, which is struggling to attract new followers.
Saudi Arabia is said to be home to 40% of all active Twitter users in the Middle East.
