Their role in this emerging biophotonics application

Dr. Jörg Schwartz, Contributing Editor, [email protected]

Synthetic biology aims to design and engineer biologically based parts, novel devices and systems as well as to redesign existing, natural biological systems – often with support from photonic tools. For “synbio,” a relatively new and emerging field that intersects with biotechnology, software and electronics, a number of issues on whether and how to protect intellectual property have surfaced, some of which also may become relevant to other scientific areas. Synbio’s promoters – for example, members of The Royal Academy of Engineering in the UK – say...Read full article

    electronics
    That branch of science involved in the study and utilization of the motion, emissions and behaviors of currents of electrical energy flowing through gases, vacuums, semiconductors and conductors, not to be confused with electrics, which deals primarily with the conduction of large currents of electricity through metals.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
