Scientists Build Working DNA Computer Inside a Water Drop
Original: Scientists Created a Computer Inside a Water Drop Using Billions of DNA Molecules and It Worked
Researchers have reportedly created a functioning computer inside a single water droplet, using billions of DNA molecules to carry out computations. The work points to a new approach in molecular computing, where biological molecules instead of silicon chips process information. Details of the research, the team behind it, and what calculations the device actually performed remain sparse.
Why now: People are discussing it because the idea of a working computer made of DNA in a water drop sounds like science fiction made real.
