FSM Immortalized in the Annals of Science

 

Brilliant choice of subject!   

A dense bed of light-sensitive bacteria has been developed as a unique kind of photographic film. Although it takes 4 hours to take a picture and only works in red light, it also delivers extremely high resolution. The "living camera" uses light to switch on genes in a genetically modified bacterium that then cause an image-recording chemical to darken. The bacteria are tiny, allowing the sensor to deliver a resolution of 100 megapixels per square inch.

  1. I love reading stories on how science keeps bringing new discoveries, 100 megapixels per square inch, thats a high resolution. Not sure how we will use this in the future.
