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 solving sudoku puzzles.
A startup in Switzerland has built a unique computer processor made from 16 tiny brains made from human tissue, basically a living computer.
Using nine different cell populations assembled into 3D cultures, the team of synthetic biologists has managed to get them to behave like a very simple electronic computational circuit.
Researchers have developed much more advanced RNA biocomputers that can handle more computations and complex logic. Ribocomputing is coming of age.
Scientists have demonstrated how living cells can be induced to carry out computations in the manner of tiny robots or computers.
Engineers have programmed cells to remember and respond to events. This approach to circuit design enables scientists to create complex cellular state machines and track cell histories.
Researchers led by ETH Zurich professor Yaakov Benenson and MIT professor Ron Weiss have incorporated a diagnostic biological “computer” network in
