Scientists Build a World-First DNA Computer That Runs Without Continuous Power

The scaffolded system used 700 test calculations and achieved a 95% success rate, showing a low-energy alternative to conventional computing.

Summary by Sci Tech Daily
Reusable for up to 25 different calculations, a DNA computer points toward possible uses in energy-efficient computing and long-term data storage. A DNA computer has added 10 and 3 in 30 seconds, using interacting strands in water instead of a silicon chip. Developed by researchers at Maynooth University (MU), the system can also multiply and [...]

Researchers have demonstrated a new molecular computing model capable of solving mathematical problems using DNA molecules. The system can perform operations in less than a minute, dispense explicit error correction mechanisms and open the way to new forms of computing. Computers do not have to rely exclusively on electronic processors, transistors and [...]

It's hard to believe, but DNA molecules can turn even a small drop of water into a computer. To anyone, a small drop of water seems banal. It doesn't seem to have anything special. But there are researchers who see an entire computer machine inside a drop. There's no silicon processor there, but they guarantee that billions of DNA molecules in a drop of water can interact, process information and give a response. Researchers at the University of…
