Researchers at Maynooth University have built a scaffolded DNA computer in which short strands compete to attach along a long scaffold strand. Mismatched tiles are energetically unfavorable, so they detach and are replaced until the arrangement settles into the most stable configuration, allowing the system to self-correct. The work is being discussed among science audiences as an example of DNA-based computing that uses physical chemistry, rather than traditional silicon, to reach a reliable result.
