iGEM Yale

introduction

Yale-iGEM team is doing great. Welcome to Yale-iGEM 2010! In our inaugural year of iGEM competition, we have designed a system to harness biology to construct conductive circuits.

By enabling E. coli to affect local redox chemistry, we can use bacteria to catalyze metal deposition. When this activity is controlled spatially and temporally, this method could be used to construct circuit elements in a specified geometry. This would allow the manufacture of electrical components under biological conditions.


Fabrication of Integrated Circuits (under construction!)

Nano/Micro scale circuits have been instrumental development of new concepts and technologies like the lab-in-a-chip. The wire deposition technique invented by the Yale team can be used to fabricate such circuits by depositing copper wire a substrate in a controlled fashion (Fig 1) [[Image:Example.jpg]]
