Maynooth team builds DNA computer that computes without electricity

Live Science details how the DNA computer processes information

Coverage explains that the system uses competitive DNA strand binding to a scaffold, settling into an energetically favorable state that encodes the computation's answer, with simple sums like 10 + 3 taking about 30 seconds.

“The clever part is that the binding process is competitive: the DNA molecules compete with each other to select a winner, which succeeds in binding to the scaffold”
