Molecules used as information processors
September 8, 2005 | Source: KurzweilAI
Chemists at Queen’s University Belfast are exploring the capabilities of molecules that act like conventional computers but in spaces only a few nanometers across.
Molecular information processors placed in nano-spaces can gather, process and supply valuable data on how chemistry and biology function at this tiny scale. Molecules can also be used as information processors in medical and other applications.
