<p id="pp" style="font-size:200%;">Part of the Newcastle iGEM team’s project this year involved an experiment centred around the creation of biological electronic components. Newcastle asked our team if we could help them out by finding the thermal conductivity of different growth media. With the help of our biophysicist supervisor Ryan Edgington, we came up with a plan to measure the conductivity.</P> | <p id="pp" style="font-size:200%;">Part of the Newcastle iGEM team’s project this year involved an experiment centred around the creation of biological electronic components.
