Scientists from the California Institute of Technology have created an artificial neural network (or a “tiny brain,” in the words of the lead scientist) from DNA strands that interact with biochemical inputs. The artificial neurons of this network can take incomplete inputs, interact with each other, and come up with a complete conclusion. This is [...]
