    Does this allow you to run steam on gnu/linux and run games installed on Windows (so you don't have to install games on both operating systems)? I've tried https://github.com/Valve…

    You're welcome to do that yourself, if you're so inclined. I doubt they would take your argument seriously though since you're not making any sensible comparisons.

    Currently, DNA may not be a general purpose computing element as the examples you have given, but again this is beside the point you're trying to make, namely, the comparison betwe…

    You only have to make DNA once. If you actually wanted to make a sensible comparison, then the question you should be asking is, "How much energy does it take to manufacture a sili…

    I think you're confusing the energy efficiency of computation and the energy needed to create the elements which perform the computation. The initial comment refers to the former w…

    Good question. The second law of thermodynamics dictates a theoretical maximum of 3.4 x 10^20 (irreversible) operations per joule (at 300 K or room temperature). I think there is a…

    This was the first paper to experimentally demonstrate the use double-crossover (DX) DNA tiles to implement a 1D cellular automata, namely Sierpinski patterns. Hence, a new type of…

    I work in the field (DNA nanotechnology) and a question I often get asked is, "When are DNA computers going to replace silicon based computers?" The answer is that that's highly un…

    Before Suneung, there were equally, if not more, grueling college entrance exams. I think the point the commentor is trying to make is that this type of education has been the fuel…

    Below is problem 33 of this year's English exam. For the English section of the exam, there are a total of 45 questions; 17 listening comprehension (around 25 minutes) and 28 readi…

    Yes, you're right. The self-assembly of the nanorobot is done using the same technique as in the video you linked. In fact, the speaker in the video, Paul Rothemund, is the person …

    No, there is no way to control it externally, nor does it have a mechanism for active movement. The DNA nanorobots move passively along with the blood flow and latches onto the tum…

    If you use org-mode, this is just one feature of an awesome full-blown bibliography management package called org-ref by John Kitchen (available on melpa or github). Exportation to…
