Oh myGod! This is amazing (although the title is well dodgy)!

That is SERIOUSLY cool. Although the headline will presumably spark (more) fears of self-assembling nanobots taking over the world.

I thought they'd built themselves a little radio

Interesting that they used E. Coli bacteria. Just goes to show, silver lining etc, good in all, blah blah.

Huh?
E. coli is one of the most useful bacteria out there. Normal strains of it inhabit our guts and help us breakdown food - without them in our guts, we'd be deprived of our major source of B-complex vitamins and vit K. We do so many experiments with it! There's just some strains that cause serious illness in man. Particularly E. coli O157:H7. Which is bad, mmm-kay. But it gives bad press to the rest of the E. coli family.

That should be E. coli 0157-McBacteria!
