MIT constructs synthetic analog computers inside living cells

2013-05-16 16:06:47| Extremetech

Inspired by early computer designs, researchers at MIT have created synthetic analog computers that use genetic machinery -- in other words, living cell calculators. In addition to arithmetic, these computers can also perform more complex function like taking logarithms and square roots. While these machines are not as convenient as any inexpensive calculator, especially for dealing with big numbers, they can process number up to four digits, and are a heck of a lot smaller.
