Conventional silicon-based computing, which has advanced by leaps and bounds in recent decades, is pushing against its practical limits. DNA computing could help take the digital era to the next level. Scientists are now reporting progress toward that goal with the development of a novel DNA-based GPS. They describe their advance in ACS’ ("Programmable...
The next step in DNA computing: GPS mapping?
One step closer to nano-sized cancer drug delivery
When you take a drug, it travels through your bloodstream, dissolving and dispersing, and eventually reaching its designated target area. But because the blood containing the drug travels all round your body only a small percentage of the initial dose actually reaches the desired location. For over-the-counter drugs like paracetamol or ibuprofen, with...
