A computer performing on DNA! Israeli scientists have devised such a computer. And it can perform 330 trillion operations per second, which is more than 100,000 times the speed of the fastest PC. It’s all happening with the help of DNA.
It was a year ago — a programmable molecular computing machine composed of enzymes and DNA molecules instead of silicon microchips was unveiled by researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel.
But now, the team has gone one step further. And in the new device, the single DNA molecule that provides the computer with the input data also provides all the necessary fuel. It is surely a giant step in DNA computing.
