How DNA is powering the next generation of supercomputers |

Synthetic DNA’s incorporation into electronics is changing neuromorphic computing’s methodology and is the new way of addressing the rising energy costs associated with current Artificial Intelligence. Integrating molecularly engineered DNA sequences with quasi-2D perovskite semiconductor materials allows researchers to create ‘memristors,’ or memory resistors, based on the brain’s ability to create new memories through synaptic […]
