“Charles Lieber and his colleagues used nanowires to create a transistor so small that it can be used to enter and probe cells without disrupting the intracellular machinery. These nanoscale semiconductor switches could even be used to enable two-way communication with individual cells.” https://www.harvardmagazine.com/2011/01/virus-sized-transistors

That is absolutely insane. Article is from 2011 citing research papers from 2001! 25 years ago they were working on this tech it’s hard to imagine what they’re just pioneering now a quarter century and trillions of $ later.
