Scientists at IBM Research and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have found a way of using DNA structures to build smaller, faster and more power-efficient computer chips.
Current processors are being built using 32nm technology, but the researchers are looking into how to solve some of the problems associated with taking this below 22nm, as well as exploring new classes of transistors that employ carbon nanotubes or silicon nanowires.
