    A Primordial DNA Store and Compute Engine
    DNA tech offers both data storage and computing functions

    Summary:
    Researchers have demonstrated a technology capable of a suite of data storage and computing functions
    -- repeatedly storing, retrieving, computing, erasing or rewriting data --
    that uses DNA rather than conventional electronics.
    Previous DNA data storage and computing technologies could complete some but not all of these tasks.

    Interesting:
    The researchers have demonstrated that the new data storage and computing technology
    -- which they call a "primordial DNA store and compute engine" --
    is capable of solving simple sudoku and chess problems.

    Wait until it in the shops...
