Researchers have made DNA storage rewritable, overcoming one of its biggest limitations. The breakthrough could turn DNA into ...

It’s no secret that computers can smoke humans at chess. And now, as if to further mock our mere organic forms, scientists say they’ve created a computer made out of DNA that can play the board game — ...

A full DNA computer is a step closer, thanks to a new technology that could store petabytes of data in DNA for thousands or even millions of years. The system can also process data, as demonstrated by ...

Olympus Optical Co. Ltd. has developed what the company claims is the first commercially practical DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) computer that specializes in gene analysis, the company announced earlier ...

Ground has been broken on developing “computers” made of DNA. Researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China demonstrated that they could build DNA integrated circuits (DICs) for ...

A DNA-based computer has solved a logic problem that no person could complete by hand, setting a new milestone for this infant technology that could someday surpass the electronic digital computer in ...

Around the world, scientists are exploring an unexpected solution to the growing data crisis: storing digital information in ...

A type of DNA computer that shows results through the motion of tiny beads could massively increase the parallel processing power of such machines. DNA computers take up less space than silicon-based ...

A biological computer controlled by DNA offers a cheap and simple way to test the concentration of contaminants in drinking water. And experiments show that logical operations borrowed from computer ...

Synthetic biologists have developed a low-cost, easy-to-use, hand-held device that can let users know -- within mere minutes -- if their water is safe to drink. The new device works by using powerful ...

Chemists integrated computer functions into rolling DNA-based motors, opening a new realm of possibilities for miniature, molecular robots. Nature Nanotechnology published the development, the first ...
