"Memristors" -- might be interesting... basically about making machines with living tissue. http://www.scienceagogo.com/news/20110231020255data_trunc_sys.shtml

"Indian researchers from the Changa Education Campus in Gujarat have demonstrated a memristor made from human blood and are now planning the creation of other electronic components, such as transistors and capacitors, composed of human tissue. The findings are reported in the International Journal of Medical Engineering and Informatics. The researchers say the development of biological electronic components will facilitate the creation of artificial eyes, robotic limbs and other cyborg implants..."

    sound rather huge, and 5 minutes lifetime aint terribily much. besides there are no real known uses for memristors for now, other than memory. and conventional memory chips are orders of magnitudes smaller than that particular thing. 

    none the less, interesting article. just sad it is of no relevance for biohacks right now.

    Combined art project and learning of what's possible? It's pretty cool, if completely useless; like the good 49% of college projects. (The other 49% are shit and useless, and the 2% is the useful corollaries. ",)
