Reploid Watch: Wires made from DNA
This is just unbelievable. But imagine the potential for Reploid skin and internal processing- not to mention that it could explain how Reploids can gank each other's weapons by altering their DNA to match the PHYSICAL WIRING of an opponent... The whole concept of robotic-"DNA" might NOT be so ridiculous after all!

The reaction uses and produces no toxic chemicals and takes place at room temperature and room pressure; no elaborate set-up is needed. The wires maintain their properties for three months.

It could also be used to create tiny circuit boards and computers or anything that uses electricity.
As Sri Sridhar, a professor of physics at Northeastern University, points out, researchers are borrowing tricks from Mother Nature.
"It's a very hot thing right now," said Sridhar. "While DNA is the basis of life, we are not using those properties," he said. Instead, researchers are "taking the tricks that evolution developed as a basis for a new type of electronics that is DNA-based."
Thinking about it, this could also explain the seeming inpermanence of stolen weapons- why X and Zero don't have their captured weapons from one game to the next. They melt away after a certain period of time!
