Scientists have built a hybrid bionanoelectronic transistor that can be powered by ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency in living cells. The researchers, Aleksandr Noy and colleagues from Lawrence Livermore National Lab, claim that the new transistor is the first integrated bioelectronic system, and could provide a way to integrate electronics with the body.
