Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 670 [New Bio-Nano Transistor]

Chips in the traditional sense are not compatible with organic organisms. The so-called chip implantation is definitely not what most people think is that traditional chips are implanted in the human body. This will cause serious rejection, and naturally it cannot be applied to biological organisms. Technical bionics can only be intelligent machines, and intelligent robots cannot achieve the confidentiality effect that Luo Sheng wants.

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

Only chips composed of biotransistors can solve the compatibility problem with organic life forms.

It should be understood that although bioelectricity and electricity used in electronic equipment in daily life both carry the word "electricity", the two are not the same thing, and are essentially different.

In order to convert the bioelectric signals generated by living bodies into electronic signals for controlling machines without distortion, no one has yet done it. At least no one in the world has done it until Luo Sheng fully invests in it.

If this is not possible, even if a powerful chip core is installed in the bionic human body, it will never be as sensitive as a real organ.

In the following days, Luo Sheng alone and Xiaona's assistance began to tackle this technical problem with all his strength, which required him to master and master knowledge of multiple subjects at the same time.

The principle is not difficult to understand, and even contains basic physics knowledge at the middle school level.

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

But the difference is that the so-called bioelectricity in organic life is quite different here. There are some special channels in the cell membrane of organisms. When the ion concentration inside and outside the cell membrane is unbalanced, these channels will open, sodium and potassium. , Calcium plasma is either released from the cell or flows in from outside the cell to form bioelectricity.

People can control their own body based on this. Without the movement of these ions, one cannot raise their hands and kick their legs, or even see the outside world, because electrical signals are transmitted from the retina to the nerve center of the brain. , Relying on the same set of mechanisms.

Bioelectricity is generated by the movement of ions, and these ions carry a positive charge.

In other words, the electronic devices manufactured by humans and the current carriers in the human body are not the same kind of particles at all. If you want to achieve perfect interaction between living bodies and electronic devices, it is quite simple, or Bioelectric signals are "translated" into electronic signals, or electronic signals are "translated" into bioelectric signals.

It's simple, but it can be realized but not everyone can do it. In addition, many rich details will be lost in the "translation" process, which will cause signal distortion.

...

The seventeenth day of retreat.

In the laboratory, Luo Sheng is still doing the research silently. The several display panels are all papers related to the research. These are the papers published by other scholars in the industry. Of course, Luo Sheng also uses it for reference research.

Xiaona’s voice suddenly resounded in the quiet laboratory: "Master, today is you working for more than 15 hours a day for 16 consecutive days. Your physical data shows that your brain is in a state of excessive fatigue. You really I need a good rest."

Luo Sheng slid one of the display panels and stared at the paper analysis above and said faintly: "Don't monitor my physical condition after telling you that it's okay, you want to help me instead of blocking me, you know?"

Xiaona replied: "Well then..."

During this period of time, Luo Sheng was not only conquering technical problems, but at the same time, in order to overcome them, he had unknowingly mastered three new knowledge, and all reached the point of proficiency. This is the best interpretation of Yitong Belden.

In Luo Sheng’s design ideas, the ideal machine for dealing with biological cells needs to have two basic conditions: the first is to be compatible with organic life forms and not to be rejected; the second is to use the cell’s own “language” with it. communicate with.

In other words, the best way to transmit electrical signals is to carry positively charged particles, so that you can control the entry and exit of positive ions on the cell membrane.

This idea leads directly to biotransistors.

The soul of the common electronic equipment in daily life is the transistor, which is also the basic element of the chip. The transistor is essentially an electronic switch that controls the current. Applying an external electric field to it can determine whether it is turned on or off.

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

In the next few days, Luo Sheng made a preliminary small part by himself 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 living organisms, the so-called biotransistor.

Like the biologists who have been working on the development of biotransistors for decades, Luo Sheng uses sodium, potassium, and calcium ions to pump ion pumps into cells. Unfortunately, the materials used are not compatible with organisms.

In the following week, Luo Sheng tried a variety of methods and the test ended in failure.

...

In a blink of an eye, the time came to June.

It was dinner time. There was a whole table of rich dishes on the table. There were four people on the table, namely Luo Sheng, Qin Weimu, Irene and An Qingxue.

It is a rare scene.

Strictly speaking, counting the little princess An Qingxue was pregnant with, they were five people.

On the table, there is a delicacy made by freshly caught Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, but this is not suitable for An Qingxue during pregnancy. She is more taboo when pregnant, and her catering will be specially arranged.

At this moment, An Qingxue suddenly looked at Luo Sheng and said, "Brother Luo, can you promise me one thing?"

"whats the matter?"

Luo Sheng replied casually. He was multi-tasking while eating. He was thinking about biotransistors. Recently, he was a little depressed by this question.

"From tomorrow on, working hours will be halved, and eight hours a day will be restored. Even if you don't consider your own body tossing hard, you have to consider our feelings and your upcoming daughter."

Hearing this, Luo Sheng couldn't help but was stunned. He immediately raised his head and glanced at the Qingxue sister paper, and then tilted his head to look at Irene and Qin Weimu. They didn't say a word as if it didn't matter to them, but they were in sight with them. When his eyes met, he saw a scent of being left out and producing faint resentment.

Luo Sheng realized that he had spent almost all of his energy on technical research during this period, and he really only paid attention to research. He nodded and smiled as soon as he thought of this: "Okay, I promise you."

But at this moment, when Luo Sheng looked at the plate of hairy crabs on the table, he suddenly had an epiphany at that moment.

"I think I have found a solution... You can eat, I have to go to the laboratory first." Luo Sheng suddenly got up from the dining table, said to the laboratory, pretending not to see Qin Weimu, Irene and the others had their eyes full of resentment.

I promised last second...

After a while, Qin Weimu said lightly: "It's not that only men can solve demand problems with their own hands, women can also be, Xiao Ai waits for us to play together."

An Qingxue: "???"

Xiao Ai: "???"

His faces circled for a while.

What a tiger-wolf word is this...

On the other side, before Luo Sheng went to the laboratory in Zone 32 on the ground floor, he went to the kitchen and brought a bag of fresh hairy crabs to the laboratory.

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

Isn't this the best material for the biotransistor you want to make?

It was night, Luo Sheng was alone in the laboratory to extract the polymer material in the hairy crab carapace to make nanofiber tubes composed of this material, which can allow protons to flow.

Applying an external electric field to it can also determine whether the flow of protons is accelerated or stopped, and the material is soft and tough, and is well compatible with biological organisms.

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

"Congratulations, master, you finally made the world's first biotransistor."

Luo Sheng couldn't help but laughed, and said: "Finally found a solution, this step is easy to cross the next step, everything will happen automatically."

Unexpectedly, the problem was solved by crabs in the end.

However, there are still many problems before the actual production of usable biochips. The next step is to solve the integration problem of the chip and the design of the biochip. These links are no different from traditional chips. The existing chip design, manufacturing and other related technologies Can provide technical support.

Luo Sheng couldn't help but yawned. After overcoming the problem, the fatigue hit him instantly, stretched his waist and left the laboratory.

I can finally rest for a while.
