A team of bioengineers from ETH Zurich's Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (D - BSSE) in Basel have now developed a new implantable molecular device composed of two modules: a sensor that constantly measures blood pH and a gene feedback mechanism that produces the necessary amount of insulin.

This lecture will illustrate the working principles of photochemical molecular devices for information processing, with examples of memories, logic gates, and encoding / decoding systems, and the operational mechanisms of light - powered molecular machines, with examples of shuttles and switchable boxes.

Scientists hope to use this method to develop molecular devices that function as nanoscale machines or drug - delivery devices, markers for medical imaging or biological research, and components for electronic devices. (sciencedaily.com)
