GoKawiilMaynooth University team builds DNA-based computer capable of 100-bit calculations
Researchers at Maynooth University in Ireland built a molecular computer called a Scaffolded DNA Computer, using DNA origami to fold long and short DNA strands into a computing grid. Instead of transistors and electricity, the system relies on DNA base pairs binding and unbinding as they settle into their most stable configuration, which represents the solved answer to a preprogrammed calculation. The team ran 10 different programs on the device, including operations involving 100-bit computations, marking it as one of the most complex molecular computers built so far.
