DNA computer

A new report suggests the cost of artificial intelligence is collapsing faster than the rate of Moore's Law, with the price of intelligence dropping more steeply than comparable technologies such as compute, DNA sequencing, and lithium batteries. The findings are drawing attention because rapid cost declines could accelerate AI adoption across industries and intensify competition among providers racing to lower prices.

Researchers report that a DNA-based computer has been brought to settle in thermodynamic equilibrium, a milestone at the intersection of computing and statistical physics. The result suggests DNA molecules can perform computations while naturally relaxing toward equilibrium states, offering a way to study how energy, entropy and information interact in molecular-scale machines and potentially informing future biocomputing designs.
