DNA computer 'calculates square roots'

BBC News - DNA computer 'calculates square roots': "DNA computing uses chemical reactions to solve problems in which a number of DNA strands act as 'bits'.

The work, reported in Science, required 130 strands of DNA to work in a cascade of programmed chemical changes.

The approach is not designed to rival traditional electronics, but rather to allow computing to occur in biological contexts, perhaps even in the body."
