Time of living machines. Biological revolution in technology

A century ago, science allowed engineers to create a number of amazing new technologies that have changed our world so much that we can no longer imagine our lives without them. But, according to the world -famous neurobiologist Susan Hokfield, we are on the verge of a new revolution, when many of the next generation of fantastic technologies will appear as a result of combining discoveries in the field of biology with engineering art.
“Time of living machines” describes some of the most interesting new developments created as a result of the joint work of scientists and engineers. Viral batteries. Water protein filters. Nanoparticles capable of detecting cancer. Prostheses reading thoughts. Agricultural crops bred by the computer.
All these latest projects open up the prospect of the XXI technological revolution, which will overcome some of the greatest humanitarian, medical and environmental problems of our time
