DNA computing breakthrough could turn living cells into functioning blockchains
Scientists built a DNA computer capable of playing chess.
In the not-so-far future it may be possible to run entire computer networks inside of living cells thanks to a recent breakthrough in molecular computing from scientists in the US.
According to research published on Aug 22., a team of scientists at North Carolina State University and Johns Hopkins University have built a functional DNA computer.
As Cointelegraph previously reported, DNA storage has been around for a while. But this may be the world’s first functional molecular computer capable of conducting both storage and compute functions via DNA — instead of using electricity, like regular desktop computers and smartphones.
