Medical implants, complex interfaces between brain and machine or remotely controlled insects: Recent developments combining machines and organisms have great potentials, but also give rise to major ethical concerns. In their review entitled "Chemie der Cyborgs – zur Verknüpfung technischer Systeme mit Lebewesen" (The Chemistry of Cyborgs – Interfacing Technical Devices with Organisms), German scientists discuss the state of the art of research, opportunities, and risks. The review is published now by the renowned journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition.
