DNA is like software, telling our cellular and molecular hardware what to do – except it uses biochemical reactions rather than the electronic circuitry of computers we’re used to. Now, researchers ...

A new DNA computer calculates square roots of perfect squares up to 900. Like quantum computers, DNA computers are an exciting frontier of post-silicon computing. Where previous examples were up to 4 ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. A test-tube circuit made of DNA-based logic gates can calculate the ...

Years ago, no math education was complete without understanding how to compute a square root. Today, you are probably just reaching for a calculator, or if you are writing a program, you’ll probably ...

Logarithms and square root are non-elementary operations frequently used in digital signal processing. In this work, implementation and design of an IP-Core to compute square root and multibase ...

Here is a simple introductory session that uses SAS/IML software to estimate the square root of a number, accurate to three decimal places. In this session, you define a function module named APPROX ...

A computer made from strands of DNA in a test tube can calculate the square root of numbers up to 900. Chunlei Guo at the University of Rochester in New York state and colleagues developed a computer ...
