New DNA Computer Chip Performs Calculations and Stores Data Using DNA
- New DNA-based biocomputing chip performs calculations using DNA as a substrate, enabling more efficient AI training and data processing
- DNA is very compact and durable for storing information compared to electronic memory
- Chip encodes data on DNA and processes it using microfluidic channels to perform calculations
- Having storage and computing on same DNA-based chip is more efficient than separate components
- Scientists hope scaled-up DNA-based computing could train AI systems and be more sustainable than electronics
