DNA: Backbone of next-gen logic?

摘要

Researcher Chris Dwyer, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at Duke's Pratt School of Engineering, demonstrated that by simply mixing customized snippets of DNA and other molecules, he couldrncreate literally billions of identical, tiny, waffe-looking structures. These nanostructures will efficiently self-assemble, and when different light-sensitive molecules are added to the mixture, the waffles exhibit unique and programmable properties that can be readily tapped.
