Magnetic bacteria to make the future of bio-computers!
Magnet-making bacteria can build computers diversity in the future, the researchers said.
The team used the University of Leeds, United Kingdom and Japan in the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology microbes that feed on iron. As you eat the iron, and microbes to create a small magnet inside themselves, like the CD drive of your computer. Research may lead to the creation of the hard drive much faster, and a team of scientists.
As technology advances and computer components smaller and smaller, it becomes more difficult for the production of electronics on the nanoscale.
Thus, researchers now are turning to nature - and get the microbes involved.
Magnetic bacteria
In the present study, scientists used bacteria Magnetospirilllum magneticum.
These micro-organisms naturally magnetic generally live in aquatic environments such as ponds and lakes under the surface, where oxygen is scarce.
They can only swim up and down along magnetic field lines of the earth, the harmonization of the Earth's magnetic field as a compass needle in the search for concentrations of oxygen is preferred.
When the amount of iron bacteria, and proteins in their bodies interact with the production of small crystals of magnetite ore, ore through the Earth's magnetic
