Biological Computers on the way-- Bioengineers Create Bio-Transistors With DNA

Bioengineers Create Bio-Transistors With DNA: "Do you know what the Singularity is? It’s that apocryphal-unless-it-happens sci-fi-like event, championed by Ray Kurzweil, in which humans and machines merge and we as a species are forever transformed. None can say whether the the artificial mind and the real mind will become as one, but we’re making advances in that direction every day. Now bioengineers at Stanford University have made transistors from genetic materials in lieu of the semiconducting materials normally used. A nice big step toward Singularity. Biological computers!



It starts with the transistor, the primary building block of the digital world and the reason we have cars, phones, and video games."
