Bioelectronics

Bioelectronics is a field of research in the convergence of biology and electronics.At the primary C.E.C. Workshop, in national capital in November 1991, bioelectronics was outlined as 'the use of biological materials and biological architectures for IP systems and new devices'. Bioelectronics, specifically bio-molecular physics, were delineated as 'the analysis and development of bio-inspired (i.e. self-assembly) inorganic and organic materials and of bio-inspired (i.e. huge parallelism) hardware architectures for the implementation of latest IP systems, sensors and actuators, and for molecular producing right down to the atomic scale'.The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), place of work of the U.S. Department of Commerce, outlined bioelectronics in a very 2009 report as "the discipline ensuing from the convergence of biology and electronics".
