 Sun Mar 16, 2003 3:34 pm Gel Packs in voyager |
|
Ok theese packs Nural gel packs. They have actually invented someting very close. Using just your basic BJ printer and using not ink but DNA in the cartridges you can print circuits that can calculate things.
This is true i saw it in the paper

Basicly what im saying is that you can print a genitic circuit that works like the cells on your brain.

With DNA? That makes no sense.

Actually, I doubt it is anything like the gel packs seen on voyager. But, it sort of makes sense, but I can't see this is being an advantage. How does the cell ink replace things like capacitors, microchips etc. I can only see the ink as a replacement for the pcb (printed circuit board), the ink being electrically conductive.

This is one is tougher 
Anyways, Voyager's Gel packs are micro sub-processors the use real cell tissues. Of course they still have some non-organic parts like ODN lines and the conducting micro-tendrils.

I agree on this. I am confused on how DNA can account for the processing; it could really only create a place for them, in my view.

They can now print out cell information... using a printer similar to a inkjet. (I saw it in the paper too!) It might mean that we're eventually able to print out entire organs.
