DNA Computer Performs 100-Bit Calculations Using Heat, Water and Salt
The system solved 10 programs and 25 consecutive calculations without continuous power, researchers said, highlighting a low-energy alternative to silicon chips.

A new type of computer has emerged that performs addition, multiplication, and division using deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules instead of semiconductor chips. It performs calculations by binding together underwater, even without a continuous supply of electricity. Researchers at Maynooth University in Ireland announced on the 17th in the international journal *Nature* that they have developed a molecular computer made of DNA strands. The re…
Molecular computation that rolls energetically downhill
A DNA-based computer that operates by relaxing to thermodynamic equilibrium has been demonstrated on ten molecular programs, which completed computations in as little as one minute. Some programs were rerun using distinct inputs up to 25 times and others were scaled up to 100-bit computations — although this slowed them down substantially. A DNA-based computer that operates by relaxing to thermodynamic equilibrium is found to be programmable, fa…
