Researchers have designed a new method to compute data stored on DNA in hopes of building a future of very powerful and robust ‘biocomputers.’ The “microfluidic integrated circuit” is designed to perform operations through artificial neural network computations on data and will function both as a sensor and as a computer process that has small channels to separate, detect, and attract molecules in liquid samples.
