A molecular computer is made of organic molecules instead of silicon. Chips built this way are not only potentially much smaller but also, because of the way they can be networked, ...

The difficulties of building a practical computer using molecular electronics—along with the microelectronics industry’s success in carving ever-smaller features into silicon devices and ...

A superthin computer just two molecules thick can solve complex problems and, somewhat like the human brain, can evolve to improve and perform many operations simultaneously. This molecular ...

W A S H I N G T O N, Aug 18 -- Researchers said Thursday they had developed microscopic chemical switches that could form the basis of tiny, fast and cheap computers that will “do things we ...

Molecular computers hold the promise of being far less expensive, much smaller, and much more energy-efficient than today's silicon-based computers. The UCLA groups, ...

In the early ’90s, Shapiro’s innovative research in programming languages led to the establishment of Ubique, a company that develops interactive online environments. Shapiro’s design of a universal ...

Researchers have made significant advances in molecular computing. These include defining the fundamental limits of such 'biological computers'. Molecular computing attempts to use components of ...

Caltech professor of chemistry Sandeep Sharma and colleagues from IBM and the RIKEN Center for Computational Science in Japan ...

Molecular computers could store data and, like ribosomes, assemble physical products from coded blueprints. Instead of stringing amino acids into proteins, they might produce finely tuned materials ...

Fraser Stoddart, an organic chemist who shared a Nobel Prize for helping explore the potential of infinitesimal “molecular machines” that could one day revolutionize fields such as medicine ...

It’s also not yet possible to “write” information using a molecular computer, which is what would be required to actually fabricate new drugs or plastics. Leigh isn’t worried about speed.

DNA computers. Most molecular computers are developed using synthesized DNA. So, for the time being, it's unlikely we’ll see any practical applications for their insertion into living organisms.
