Filling a test tube with molecules made from folded DNA can work as a simple computer. The approach has been used to split two numbers into prime factors.
Conventional computers work by passing electricity through tiny on-off switches to perform simple calculations. However, the new computer relies on the way that differently shaped DNA molecules combine.
Yinan Zhang at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China and his colleagues used a process called DNA origami, where chemicals contort, intertwine and stick together long strands of …
Researchers have developed a new hybrid simulation process using quantum computers to solve electronic structure problems, potentially enabling quantum computers to tackle more complex chemical structures in the future. A quantum computational solution for engineering materials. Researchers at Argonne explore the possibility of solving the electronic structures of complex molecules […]
