Chapter 668 [New biological nanotransistors]

Chips in the traditional sense cannot be compatible with organic living organisms. The so-called chip implantation is by no means what most people think is to implant traditional chips into the human body. This will cause serious rejection and naturally cannot be applied to bionic people using biotechnology. They can only be intelligent machinery, and intelligent robots cannot achieve the confidentiality effect that Luo Sheng wants.

Another reason is that even if traditional chips can be compatible with applications, it means that a battery must be installed in the Bionics' body to power the chip. This is very power-consuming and is obviously a clumsy design that Luo Sheng cannot accept.

Only chips composed of biological transistors can solve the compatibility problem with organic living organisms.

You should know that although bioelectricity and the electricity used by people in electronic devices in daily life are both "electricity", these two are not the same thing, and are essentially very different.

No one has done this at present to convert the bioelectric signals generated by living organisms into electronic signals that control machines without distortion. At least before Luo Sheng was fully committed, no one in the world has done this.

If this cannot be achieved, even if a powerful chip core is installed in the bionic human body, it will be impossible to use it as sensitive as a real organ.

In the following days, Luo Sheng, alone with Xiaona's assistance, began to work hard to overcome this technical problem, which required him to master and master knowledge of multiple disciplines at the same time.

The principles are not difficult to understand, and even contain basic physics knowledge at the middle school level.

The movement of charge forms a current, the so-called "carriers", which can be positive or negative. The currents used on all electronic devices currently have electrons and carry negative charges.

But the difference is that the so-called bioelectricity in organic living organisms is very different from this. There are some special channels on the cell membrane of biological organisms. When the concentration of ions inside and outside the cell membrane is unbalanced, these channels will open, and sodium, potassium, and calcium plasma will be released from the cells or flow out of the cells, thus forming bioelectricity.

This is based on this when people can control their bodies. Without these ions in the body, they cannot make a raising hand and kicking, and they cannot even see the external world, because electrical signals are transmitted from the retina to the nerve center of the brain, which also depends on the same mechanism.

Bioelectricity is generated by the movement of ions, which carry positive charges.

In other words, the electronic devices made by humans are not the same particle as the carriers of the current in the human body. It is quite simple to achieve perfect interaction between living organisms and electronic devices. Either they "translate" the bioelectric signal into an electronic signal, or they "translate" the electronic signal into a bioelectric signal.

It is simple, but not everyone can do it in implementation. In addition, many rich details will be lost during the "translation" process, resulting in signal distortion.

...

The seventeenth day of retreat.

In the laboratory, Luo Sheng is still researching silently. Several display panels are papers related to the research. These are papers published by other scholars in the industry. Of course, Luo Sheng also needs to use them as reference.

Xiaona's voice suddenly rang in the quiet laboratory: "Master, today is your work for more than 15 hours a day for 16 consecutive days. Your physical data shows that your brain is in an over-tired state, and you really need to have a good rest."

Luo Sheng slid one of the display panels, stared at the paper above and said lightly: "Don't you tell you that you don't monitor my physical condition if you're fine. You have to help me instead of causing trouble for me, do you know?"

Xiaona replied: "Okay..."

During this period, Luo Sheng was not only solving technical problems, but also unknowingly mastered three new knowledge in order to overcome them, and all of them reached the level of proficiency. This is the best interpretation of Yitong Baitong.

In Luo Sheng's design idea, an ideal machine for dealing with biological cells needs to meet two basic conditions: the first is to be compatible with organic living organisms and will not be rejected; the second is to communicate with the cells in their own ‘language’.

In other words, the best way to transmit electrical signals is to carry positive charge particles, so that the positive ions can be controlled to enter and exit the cell membrane.

This idea directly leads to biological transistors.

In daily life, the soul of electronic devices is transistors and the basic element of chips. Transistors are essentially electronic switches that control currents. Applying an external electric field to it can determine whether it is turned on or off.

When humans first invented transistors, a transistor was as long as 1 cm long. With the advancement of technology and the rapid development of integrated circuit industry technology, a chip the size of a fingernail can now accommodate transistors of tens of billions of scales.

In the next few days, Luo Sheng made a preliminary production of a small component in the laboratory that could realize the function of a transistor, but what it controlled was not electrons, but positively charged ions.

In addition, it must be compatible with organisms, which is the so-called biological transistor.

Like biologists who have been working on the development of biological transistors for decades, Luo Sheng used sodium, potassium, and calcium ions to pump ion pumps into cells. Unfortunately, the materials used were compatible with organisms.

In the next week, Luo Sheng tried many methods and tested them all in failure.

...

In a blink of an eye, it was June.

It was dinner time, and there were a whole table of hearty dishes on the dining table, with four people on the dining table, namely Luo Sheng, Qin Weimu, Ailin and An Qingxue.

It is a rare and famous scene.

Strictly speaking, the little princess An Qingxue is pregnant with is considered five people.

There is a delicious dish made of Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs that are harvested on the dining table, but this is not suitable for An Qingxue to enjoy during pregnancy. She is more resistant to pregnancy, so her catering will be specially arranged.

At this time, An Qingxue suddenly looked at Luo Sheng and said, "Brother Luo, can you promise me something?"

"What's the matter?"

Luo Sheng responded casually. While eating, he was also focusing on multi-purpose and thinking about biological transistors. He was a little depressed by this question recently.

"From tomorrow, you can reduce your working hours by half and resume work for eight hours a day. Even if you don't think about your body and try hard, you have to consider our feelings, and your soon-to-be-born daughter."

Hearing this, Luo Sheng was stunned. He then looked up at Qingxue Meizhi, then turned his head to look at Erin and Qin Weimu. They didn't say a word, as if they were not concerned about their own affairs, but when their eyes met their eyes, they saw a feeling of being neglected and resentful.

Only then did Luo Sheng realize that he had almost devoted all his energy to technical research during this period, and he was really only concerned about research. Thinking of this, he nodded and smiled, "Okay, I promise you."

But at this moment, when Luo Sheng looked at the plate of hairy crabs on the dining table, he suddenly realized it.

"I think I have found a solution... You eat, I have to go to the laboratory first." Luo Sheng suddenly got up from the dining table with great excitement, said and went to the laboratory, pretending that he didn't see Qin Weimu, Ailin and the others were full of resentment.

I agreed only last second...

After a while, Qin Weimu said lightly: "It's not only men who can solve their needs with their own hands. Women can do it too. Xiao Ai will play together later."

An Qingxue: "???"

Xiao Ai: "???"

My face was confused for a while.

What a tiger and wolf word...

On the other hand, before Luo Sheng went to the laboratory in District 32, he went to the kitchen and brought a bag of fresh hairy crabs to the laboratory.

It was when I saw those crabs on the dining table that Luo Sheng suddenly realized that chitin fibers can be extracted from the crab shells, and chitin fibers are the only positively charged polymer material in nature.

Isn’t this the best material for the biological transistor you want to make?

That night, Luo Sheng extracted the polymer material in the hairy crab shell alone in the laboratory and made it into a nanofiber tube composed of this material, which allowed protons to flow.

Applying an external electric field to it can also determine whether proton flow accelerates or stops, and the material is soft and tough, and is well compatible with biological organisms.

At three o'clock in the morning, Xiaona's voice responded with joy in the laboratory.

"Congratulations to Master, you finally made the world's first biological transistor."

Luo Sheng couldn't help but smile and said, "I finally found a solution. It's easy to take this step and everything can be done."

Unexpectedly, the crabs finally solved the problem.

However, there are still many problems before actually manufacturing available biochips. The next step is to solve the chip integration problems and the biochip design problems. These links are no different from traditional chips. Current chip design, manufacturing and other related technologies can provide technical support.

Luo Sheng couldn't help but yawn. After overcoming the problem, he felt tired instantly. He stretched and left the laboratory.

Finally I can rest for a while.
