Engineering cells to broadcast their behavior can help scientists study their inner workings
Waves are ubiquitous in nature and technology. Whether it’s the rise and fall of ocean tides or the swinging of a clock’s pendulum, the predictable rhythms of waves create a signal that is easy to track and distinguish from other types of signals. Electronic devices use radio waves to send and receive data, like your […]
