Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

Microchips are everywhere. Microchips are everywhere.

They're in our computers and smartphones, of course, but also TVs, thermostats, fridges, washing machines, cars, and that ever-growing constellation of devices embedded with computer brains

and internet connectivity is known as the Internet of Things.

Lots of other stuff, though, like a carton of milk, doesn't have a microchip or smart sensor.

Not to say that it couldn't.

For example, imagine smart labels on food products that could also they're used by date, depending on how they've been handled.

John Biggs is a distinguished engineer at the semiconductor company Arm. He and a team of

researchers have now developed a proof-of-concept flexible chip that could be used for applications

like outfitting a milk jug with computer smarts, and they say this chip is 12 times more complex

than previous attempts.

They describe it in a recent issue of the journal Nature.

They claim the microprocessor is cheap to build,

and it consists of thin-film transistors on a substrate of flexible,

high-performance plastic rather than rigid silicon. This is just 40,000 transistors implemented in about 60 square millimeters. And,

you know, just to compare that to, well, for example, the processor that was in the original
