DNA-semiconductor hybrid memory device uses 100 times less power than conventional chips

Researchers have combined synthetic DNA with a semiconductor to create an ultra-low-power memory device that can store and process information in the same place, using roughly 100 times less energy than conventional technology. The bio-hybrid approach could eventually make AI systems and next-generation computers far more energy efficient. The device represents a novel convergence of biological materials and semiconductor engineering.
