Electronic devices and biological cells communicate through very different mechanisms. Now, scientists report progress on tiny communication networks that overcome this language barrier, allowing electronics to eavesdrop on cells and alter their behavior -- and vice versa. Potential applications include a capsule that could be swallowed to track blood sugar and make insulin when needed.
