A multidisciplinary team at CSIC has introduced silicon chips 50 nanometres thick, as thin as a thousandth part of a hair, into living cells. These devices allow the study of cell division processes and can even be designed to interfere with the cell cycle, preventing division and causing cell death.

It’s a Friday night in Bushwick, Brooklyn, and I’m here to see a show by the El Paso-based rock band Le Butcherettes. I’m not sure if I belong – I have no hair left to speak of, none of it dyed a bright color. And I’m pretty sure I’m the only guy here who fondly remembers catching Jethro Tull in Boston in 1970 on one of the band’s first U.S. tours. But I do know that seeing a young band on the way up is just as cool now as seeing Tull, Roxy Music, Patti Smith or Elvis Costello before they were well-known. Because if you’re a rock music fan – or any kind of music fan for that matter – there’s nothing like the thrill of discovery.
