It seems like that for much of the 20th century, there were those that dreamed of fusing man with machinery. Seems the problem though lie in the fact that electronics ran on, well, electrons and humans ran on ions and protons.

Looks like the University of Washington has fixed the problem by inventing a proton based transistor. The study was published online last week in the interdisciplinary journal Nature Communications.

This is great news for amputees, but also looks like humanity might soon becoming a little less human.
