DNA is nature’s computing device. Unlike data centers, DNA is incredibly compact. These molecules package an entire organism’s genetic blueprint into tiny but sophisticated structures inside each cell ...

A full DNA computer is a step closer, thanks to a new technology that could store petabytes of data in DNA for thousands or even millions of years. The system can also process data, as demonstrated by ...

The new storage system could hold family photos, cultural artifacts and the master versions of digital artworks, movies, ...

Olympus Optical Co. Ltd. has developed what the company claims is the first commercially practical DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) computer that specializes in gene analysis, the company announced earlier ...

It’s no secret that computers can smoke humans at chess. And now, as if to further mock our mere organic forms, scientists say they’ve created a computer made out of DNA that can play the board game — ...

Ground has been broken on developing “computers” made of DNA. Researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China demonstrated that they could build DNA integrated circuits (DICs) for ...

In the not-so-far future it may be possible to run entire computer networks inside of living cells thanks to a recent breakthrough in molecular computing from scientists in the US. According to ...

A DNA-based computer has solved a logic problem that no person could complete by hand, setting a new milestone for this infant technology that could someday surpass the electronic digital computer in ...

A type of DNA computer that shows results through the motion of tiny beads could massively increase the parallel processing power of such machines. DNA computers take up less space than silicon-based ...

Researchers are paving the way for the future of micro-computing, using DNA (the building blocks of life) to build smaller-than-ever computer chips. These chips will be able to amass far superior ...

The transistor revolutionized electronics and computing. Now, researchers have made a biological transistor from DNA that could be used to create living computers. A transistor is a device that ...
