FDSOI FET allows the threshold voltage ( V t ) to be adjustable (i.e., low-Vt and high-Vt states) by using the back gate bias. Our design utilizes the front and back gates of an FDSOI FET as the input ...

The principal author of the study in Nature Communications, “Digital Logic Circuits in Yeast With CRISPR-dCas9 NOR Gates,” is UW chemical engineering graduate student Miles Gander.

Because this is a logic gate, the same rules apply here as in electronic form, in that it's possible to build combinations of NOR gates that perform any logical function (AND, EQUAL, etc.).

Circuits can also be designed for any type of Boolean logic function, such as AND gates and OR gates. Using those kinds of gates, circuits can detect multiple inputs.

Normally, the circuits on a chip consist of arrangements of transistors designed to behave like a specific type of digital logic gate, such as a NAND and NOR gate.
