Breakthrough DNA-based supercomputer runs 100 billion tasks at once


With the ability to support more than 100 billion unique circuits, this system could soon transform how we detect and diagnose disease.

(CREDIT: Nature) Unlike traditional circuits, where electrons move directionally, biomolecular components in liquid DNA systems diffuse and mix randomly, posing unique challenges. (CREDIT: Nature) For example, the team’s diagnostic circuit processed molecular inputs from RNA samples and identified the presence of cancer-related molecules through chemical reactions. As scientists continue to push the boundaries of DNA computing, its applications may extend beyond medicine to fields such as environmental monitoring, synthetic biology, and artificial intelligence.
