CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts, July 24 -- Draper issued the following news:
Over the past decade, scientists have proved that engineered microbes are capable of exhibiting a range of sense-and-response functions. They can be programmed to convert input signals into detectible outputs, such as a change in color when they encounter specific toxins. They can sense and respond to physical stimuli such as light or magnetic fields. They can even produce an electric current to actuate a tiny ge . . .
