Future computers could be built using proteins that make up cells

Posted in biological, computing

Future computers could be built smaller than ever before using the tiny biological skeletons that hold our cells together.

That’s according to one team of scientists, who have devised a way to make computer chips using cytoskeletons — protein scaffolds that give cells their shape.

They claim that the silicon chips that brought computers to the masses in the 1980s are soon to be a thing of the past.
