Till Korten - ABACUS project
Researchers in ABACUS project have utilised nanotechnology to create a biological computer that can solve certain mathematical problems far faster and more energy-efficiently than conventional electrical computers. The results have been recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences . You can find more information in the press release on Using nanotechnology to create parallel computers from Lund University. Read about the ABACUS project to know more.
<p>"The fact that molecules are very cheap and that we have now shown the biocomputer’s calculations work leads me to believe that biocomputers have the prerequisites for practical use within ten years."
