The idea that we can control our genetics is one that's historically fraught, but if you think about it, there's a lot we could fix if we could figure it out. Like, health-wise. Now, scientists say electricity might have been zipping right under our noses the entire time. A team of researchers from ETH Zurich claim that their new model of "electrogenetic interface" uses electricity to control genes.
