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 ...

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.

Artificial intelligence and high-performance computing are driving up the demand for massive sources of energy. But neuromorphic computing, which aims to mimic the structure and function of the human ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 DNA computer called MAYA has won every game of tic tac toe it has played against human opponents - over 100 in all. In the classic puzzle, also called noughts and crosses, two players take turns to ...
