As computers get more and more powerful and artificial intelligence algorithms improve, few games remain where the best humans can reliably beat their electronic counterparts. In chess this barrier ...

While strands of DNA may be able to pick fights with other strands, one thing that they can't do yet is play computer games -- that is, until now. In what appears to be an early proof-of-concept for ...

Last year, Professor Alex Schiller of Friedrich Schiller University and two of his students, Martin Elstner and Jörg Axthelm, announced that they had created a sugar-based molecular computer.

A DNA computer has been developed that can play tic-tac-toe against a human and never lose. The device uses a complex mixture of DNA strands and DNA-based enzymes to determine where it should place ...

A simple computer made of DNA strands in test tubes can now play a complete game of tic-tac-toe--and will beat or draw you every time. The result demonstrates a new level of complexity in DNA ...

A computer that uses strands of DNA to perform calculations has mastered the game tic-tac-toe. MAYA-II, developed by researchers at Columbia University and the University of New Mexico in the US, uses ...
