The boundaries of computer technology are being redefined as biology merges with electronics. At the forefront of this ...

Scientists show how stem cells process DNA with speed and precision, revealing principles that could lead to programmable DNA-based chips for biotechnology and medicine. (Nanowerk News) In the human ...

The title of the article “Many Researchers Leave Science within 5 Years” is misleading. The studies referenced in the article applied to academic careers. The title and the article itself should have ...

For the first time, a multidisciplinary team of researchers have demonstrated a proof of principle of all the capabilities needed for a functioning computer—storing, retrieving, processing, erasing, ...

DNA stores the instructions for life and, along with enzymes and other molecules, computes everything from hair color to risk of developing diseases. Harnessing that prowess and immense storage ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

A new proof-of-concept DNA-infused computer chip could be the AI breakthrough that we've been waiting for. The chip was made using a DNA substrate that can perform calculations and manage big data ...

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 ...

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 — ...

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 ...
