Accuracy is extremely important when synthesizing DNA, because a single change to a DNA letter could mean the difference between a medicine working or not or synthetic cell being alive or dead.
Scientists on Earth could then send the digital instructions to that DBC to make new medicines or to make synthetic organisms that produce oxygen, food, fuel or building materials, as a means for making the planet more habitable for humans.
I like to think of this as a synthetic forest.
A synthetic forest has a significant advantage over a real forest: size.
The land area required for a synthetic forest or a manufactured direct air capture plant to capture the same is 500 times smaller.
In addition, for a synthetic forest, you don't have to build it on arable land, so there's no competition with farmland or food, and there's also no reason to have to cut down any real trees to do this.
It could be liquid fuels, plastics or even synthetic gravel.
That requires us to build 200 synthetic forests, each capable of capturing a million tons of CO2 per year.
A synthetic forest may not ever be as pretty as a real one, but it could just enable us to preserve not only the Amazon, but all of the people that we love and cherish, as well as all of our future generations and modern civilization.
As of the end of last year, 1,314 men had run under four minutes in the mile, but like Jesse Owens, Sir Roger Bannister ran on soft cinders that stole far more energy from his legs than the synthetic tracks of today.
So I consulted biomechanics experts to find out how much slower it is to run on cinders than synthetic tracks, and their consensus that it's one and a half percent slower.
So if you apply a one and a half percent slowdown conversion to every man who ran his sub-four mile on a synthetic track, this is what happens.
They'll go into our brain through the capillaries and basically connect our neocortex to a synthetic neocortex in the cloud providing an extension of our neocortex.
Synthetic biology might give us the power to create viruses of unprecedented contagiousness and lethality.
What happens when such people have mastered synthetic biology techniques that will be widespread by 2050?
Here's what the future may begin to look like with changing, now, the evolutionary tree, speeding up evolution with synthetic bacteria, Archaea and, eventually, eukaryotes.
With the power of synthetic chemistry and molecular biology and just under 20 years of work, we created bacteria with six-letter DNA.
Compare that with the small molecules that synthetic chemists make as drugs.
Synthorx stands for synthetic organism with an X added at the end because that's what you do with biotech companies.
One is synthetic, the other organic.
These fields are computational design, allowing us to design complex forms with simple code; additive manufacturing, letting us produce parts by adding material rather than carving it out; materials engineering, which lets us design the behavior of materials in high resolution; and synthetic biology, enabling us to design new biological functionality by editing DNA.
That designers have access to such high-resolution analytic and synthetic tools, enables to design products that fit not only the shape of our bodies, but also the physiological makeup of our tissues.
Working with an ancient material, one of the first lifeforms on the planet, plenty of water and a little bit of synthetic biology, we were able to transform a structure made of shrimp shells into an architecture that behaves like a tree.
I like to think of synthetic biology as liquid alchemy, only instead of transmuting precious metals, you're synthesizing new biological functionality inside very small channels.
Hormonal contraceptives, including the pill, the patch, the Depo shot, and the vaginal ring all release synthetic versions of various combinations of progesterone and estrogen.
Synthetic progesterone also has a block trick up its sleeve.
For example, many IUDs, or intrauterine devices, contain synthetic hormones which suppress ovulation.
This last demonstration is an exploration of synthetic swarms.
Two synthetic greens called Scheele's Green and Paris Green were first introduced in the 18th century.
Synthetic green was probably the most dangerous color in widespread use, but at least it didn't share radium's property of radioactivity.
