Memories DNA

German and Israeli researchers have discovered that DNA molecules could alter the polarity of the electrons, giving rise, among other memories of a new genus. The idea of storing data represented by the spin of electrons is not new (see "Back to the future of memories"). This is not the first we consider the use of DNA in an electronic component (see "From DNA to produce processors).

This research, which are not limited to the world of memory, or even electronics, are nevertheless interesting because they provide a better understanding of biological phenomena that quantum can give birth to the revolutions of tomorrow. In their experiment, scientists sent a laser on a gold plate.

The electrons ejected from a random polarity are passed between two rows of DNA. Researchers have discovered that their output, a majority of them was polarized. As reported by our colleagues Futura-Sciences, the phenomenon is still poorly understood and we are still far from commercialization.

Nevertheless, it is interesting research that leave dreamer about the future of computing and electronics.
