Israeli Scientists develop advanced biological computer
May 27, 2013
Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa have created an advanced biological computer using only bio molecules such as DNA and enzymes. There's no traditional CPU or hard drive powering the bio-computer, no hardware or software, nor is there any tangible interface to the system. The computing devices having ability to interact directly with biological systems and even living organisms. No interface is required since all components of molecular computers, including hardware, software, input and output, are molecules that interact in solution along a cascade of programmable chemical events. Researchers believe that a sufficiently advanced biological computer could have the computational power of a universal Turing machine, able to simulate other computers. This would allow for simple customization of such processors. In addition to enhanced computation power, this DNA based transducer offers multiple benefits, including the abili...
