Years later, the electronic circuits of televisions will be able to renew themselves.

Within a few years the electronic television circuits will be able to renew themselves. The quality of the images will not change over the years. This is based on the contribution of biology.

The producers of electronic materials seek in many products what has been said above. Engineers from General Electric study a new type of chip. The main characteristics of this chip are, on the one hand, its automatic diagnosis and, on the other, its own regeneration.

To do this, experts have identified the strategic areas of the chips where the self-control circuits have been established. Therefore, at the time when the lack of information is generated, it passes to a correcting circuit. This generates a compensation signal that will be added to the information treated in the circuit, reestablishing the correct functioning of the set.

The first applications in aeronautics and astronautics will still be two or three years.
