Forget silicon chips, the future of computing could be written in DNA. Scientists have built a groundbreaking DNA computer that can solve chess puzzles and sudoku. This incredible breakthrough could revolutionize how we process information, offering a potential solution to the energy-hungry AI models of today.

Join Rich Bradbury and Matt Armitage as they try to decode the world of DNA computing and explore the working parts and enzymes of this innovative technology, its potential applications, and the challenges it faces.

They discover how scientists are harnessing the power of DNA to create a new generation of computers that are smaller, more efficient, and more storage dense than even Matt’s thick skull.
