DNA computers are coming, mark my word. Two reasons:
- First: We’ve had viable alternatives in the past, but traditional computing power will soon be too slow and limited for our expectations. We’ll have to come up with the Next Great Computer.
- Second: DNA Computers need that Killer App. Once we are talking about something other than ‘the DNA computer that plays tic-tac-toe or that traveling salesman problem, see how fast they come to a store near you.

DNA Computers Moving from SciFi to Reality
Nanotechnology is, and some say always will be, a science that seems to be ‘around the corner’. For years now, pundits have expounded the potential benefits micromachinery could offer industries ranging from medicine to weatherproofing. The field suffers under the inability to easily and efficiently manufacture on an atomic level. However, a new school of thought seeks to avoid this pitfall by making use of the natural machinery of the cell to construct molecular technology using DNA and proteins. (more)

(This Information is a basis for an open discussion )
BIO-NANO PHOTONICS and PHONONICS ENTANGLEMENT in SCIENCE and CONTEMPORARY ART.
To be held probably in September 2010, as proposed by COST Action on Bio Inspired Nanotech.,
Venue c / o Quantum Bionet, Pavia University, Italy. http://www.quantumbionet.org/main.php
The overall objective of this open meeting is to change the logic of mechanical science to respond to the need of understanding
general interactions of light, sound and matter at the nano and bio- technology space/time.
This objective is part of the COST-EU 2010-Strategy aimed to transform Europe in a society based on knowledge and innovation
subsequent to the transition from a system based on mechanical industry to the development of KBBE ( Knowledge Based Bio Economy).
The nanoscience and life sciences based on molecular genetics are to be considered important enablers for the successful completion of this process of socio-economic change.
To be succesful to develop in society the EU_KBBE strategy, it is necessary to focus that the major break-through of the cognitive and productive development require a broad understanding of the people of creativity in science and art.
Therefore the meeting will want thus questioning the need for extensive disclosure of KBBE strategy will be based both on a deep conceptual innovation of bio-and nanosciences focused on popularization of nano-& biotech development.
Proposed themes of Meeting is to be handled in terms of disclosure of science by contemporary art will be:
a) DNA- ANTENNA, b) DNA microarray as biological computer, c) DNA-chip, d) DNA- based biosensors.

Interesting. Tell us how the conference goes.
