Now, researchers at MIT have discovered a way to manipulate these early cellular motions using light, providing a new tool to ...

[Vadim] chose an ATtiny2313 to handle the RC-5 IR protocol and switch the light. The circuit still has a switch to manually control the lights, preserving the original functionality of the light ...

The tiny device developed by Professors John Rogers, Igor Efimov, and Yonggang Huang can be inserted with a syringe, and then dissolve after it’s no longer needed.

"By revealing how a light-activated switch can reshape cells in real time, we're uncovering basic design principles for how living systems self-organize and evolve shape," says the study's senior ...
