From X-rays to DNA: How Engineering Drives Biology DVD - Functions: Ambient temperature measurementEngineering has been an essential collaborator in biological research and breakthroughs in biology are often enabled by technological advances. Decoding the double helix structure of DNA, for example, only became possible after significant advances in such technologies as X ray diffraction and gel electrophoresis. Diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis improved as new technologies including the stethoscope, the microscope, and the X raydeveloped.
