DNA Computer (http://www.howstuffworks.com/dna-computer.htm)

Did you heard DNA computer??? I read somewhere in magazine, and I believe it will maximum our history man-made of computer. They are too powerful. In magazine said, today supercomputer solve 100 digits of encryted for seveal millions years. And DNA computer could solve it in 30 hours. Also it is very tiny!


More than 10 trillion DNA molecules can fit into an area no larger than 1 cubic centimeter (0.06 cubic inches). With this small amount of DNA, a computer would be able to hold 10 terabytes of data, and perform 10 trillion calculations at a time. By adding more DNA, more calculations could be performed.

I lost the magazine with good example better than the URL.

It's funny, in Popular Science, they had an article about how e-mails could be encypted using factoring or somesuch, and then they had an article about how good DNA computers will be at figuring out factors. :shrug:

BTW, Starfalcon, where are you from?

The idea of a DNA CPU is just that though. An idea. Till then we will be using are manufacturered copper cpu chips and we will press them till we reach the absolute limits of what can be done with them. I don't think we are really anywhere close to the limits of it yet.
