A team of researchers has shown that DNA can also be used to make calculations, without relying on a continuous supply of electricity. The system is still far from competing with a conventional computer, but it opens a different way to process information with minimal consumption.
World-first unpowered DNA computer sets speed record
Computing is a power-hungry resource in today’s world. By 2050, as much as 20% of the electricity consumed by the US commercial sector will be used to crunch numbers. Data centers alone will double their electricity demand within the next few years, making the need for more efficient systems a high priority.Continue ReadingCategory: TechnologyTags: DNA, Computer, Power, Electricity, Origami
By 2050, data processing alone could account for 20 percent of electricity consumption in the U.S. service sector, and global demand for data centers is expected to double in the coming years. A research team at Maynooth University in Ireland has now built a computer that counters this trend in life's chemistry: without continuous power supply, with DNA strands in salt water.

First-of-its-kind DNA computer solves complex math without wires or continuous power
By Mrigakshi Dixit | Source Researchers in Ireland say they created one of the fastest and most complex “DNA computers” to date. Designed by Maynooth University (MU), the milestone shows that microscopic strands of genetic code can execute math once reserved for electronic microchips. Built from DNA strands interacting in a salt-water droplet, the system…
Scientists build a DNA computer that can perform calculations in a drop of water
(Live Science) – This programmable DNA computer can perform arithmetic without the continuous energy input needed by other systems. Scientists have built a DNA-powered computer that can perform calculations using billions of molecules in a tiny drop of water. The system taps into the laws of physics to create what the scientists describe as a computing system that’s more efficient than the conventional computers that are widely used today. (Read…
