holy_calamity writes "New Scientist reports on the latest idea from researchers trying to make microcomputers use photons in place of electrons — to make optical interconnects from DNA strands. Mixing DNA strands with the right dye molecule upgrades them into wires for light, like microscopic optical fibres, able to absorb photons at one end and transmit them to the other. One of the neat things about using DNA is it is the right scale to play nicely with existing and future chip lithography."
