All life, as far as we know, assembles itself molecule by molecule. The blueprint for our bodies is encoded on ribbons of DNA and RNA. Cellular factories called ribosomes make these blueprints ...

Until now, molecular-level DNA circuits have mainly been used for simple tasks, such as detecting the presence of ...

Researchers at KAIST have developed a DNA-based molecular computer that integrates computation and memory at scales below 2 nanometers, surpassing limits of traditional semiconductors. Unlike previous ...

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Scientists at Hewlett-Packard Co. and UCLA said they have patented a means of getting around a significant hurdle in the race to build computer chips out of individual molecules.

A new DNA-based molecular computer from KAIST operates at 0.34nm, combining logic and memory in a reusable system and ...

KAIST Professor Yeongjae Choi, GIST MS/PhD Student Woojin Kim, KAIST Researcher Taehoon Kim, Researcher Sangeun Jeong, Researcher Sion ...

A single electron makes the difference between “on” and “off” for a new transistor made from a single carbon nanotube, whose minute size and low-energy requirements should make it an ideal device for ...

A molecular switch is an important step toward building molecular computers. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s Applications of Molecular Electronics, or MoleApps, program sponsors ...

Hewlett-Packard Co. and the University of California at Los Angeles are building logic switches and memory cells out of individual molecules of organic chemicals. In a competing project at Harvard ...

The field of molecular computing came to prominence in 1994 when Len Adleman described a DNA computer based on PCR (Science, 266:1021–4). Such computers could be useful for solving particular problems ...

A computer that uses molecules to solve problems uses 10,000 times less energy than a conventional computer. If made larger, these biocomputers could efficiently solve complex logistics problems that ...
