A computer made from strands of DNA in a test tube can calculate the square root of numbers up to 900.

"It can calculate the square root of a 10-bit binary number (within the decimal integer 900) by designing DNA sequences and programming DNA strand displacement reactions," the paper reads.

This required 4-bit binary numbers – the new prototype implements a 10-bit square root logic circuit, operating up to the decimal integer 900. The computer uses 32 strands of DNA for storing and ...

Using a computer-like system made from engineered DNA, scientists have computed the square root of 900. Biologists have proposed using genetic material ...

Researchers at the University of Rochester in New York have developed a breakthrough DNA computer that’s capable of performing square root calculations of numbers all the way up to 900. Here's ...

A new DNA computer calculates square roots of perfect squares up to 900. Like quantum computers, DNA computers are a frontier of post-silicon computing.
