OK - this is weird.
Links are non-existant at the moment, but it's real -
Remember the Memristor - the 4th electronic component (inductor, resistor, capacitor & memristor) that blends the abilities of a variable resistor and multi-state (more than just 0 and 1) memory? On its way to revolutionizing electronics?
Things just took another step to the wild side - the medical journal International Journal of Medical Engineering and Informatics is reporting that a group at the Education Campus Changa in Gujarat, India has found a new material to make memristors from:
human blood.
It changes its electrical resistance depending on how much voltage is applied, and retains the memory of this resistance for at least five minutes.
They're exploring using the tech in neuroprosthetics - connecting electronics to the nervous system & brain.
Possibilities would include augmentation, brain-machine interfaces, etc.
