DAY 80 and fingers crossed, a second showing on my condo tomorrow!

IN SILICO

adverb or adjective, in or on a computer done or produced by using computer software or simulation

Researchers claim they are creating life forms on computers, in silico creatures as truly alive as the bacteria studied in vitro.

In silico literally means "in silicon" in New Latin, and is a nod to the importance of silicon in the creation of computer chips. (The same nod is given in the name "Silicon Valley.") "In silico," which dates only to the early 1990's, is modelled on and often contrasted with two similarly structured terms, both of which date to the pre-computer days right around the start of the 20th century. (In New Latin, in vitro means "in glass.") In vivo translates as "in the living" in New Latin, and is used in English to mean "in the living body or a plant or animal."
