Chip-on-a-cell

Scientists in Spain have flipped the cell-on-a-chip concept to bring us a chip-on-a-cell

Field emission scanning electron microscopy images of a barcode attached to the zona pellucida of a mouse embryo

Jose Antonio Plaza of the Institute of Microelectronics Barcelona and colleagues affixed polysilicon chips, which act as barcodes, onto the outer surface of the zona pellucida, a membrane that surrounds immature egg cells and embryos. Although silicon nanowires penetrated the membrane to attach the chip, they did not interfere with embryo development in tests on mouse embryos.
