DNA might soon replace silicon as the perfect computing material. DNA can build itself up from scratch and become anything it wants and self assemble. We can only shrink silicon so much.
So if computer chips were made of DNA, the cost of producing the biological circuits would be much cheaper. The idea is more science fiction than a reality at this point.

I'm not going to pretend I know much about how this all works, and if I did I'm sure this would be very exciting, technologically speaking.
...But does anyone else think this sounds like the beginning of a science fiction horror movie? Just me? Ok then, guess I've seen one too many bad sci fi's.
