Chemical computers - computers of new generation

European scientists are launching a new project, which will create a "chemical computer. The project brings together the knowledge and technology in biology, chemistry and circuitry. The new computer will run the same silicon technology, but the composition of elements provided from organic compounds. The project is planned to invest about EUR 2 million. As a result, scientists promise to create a system that works as well as neurons in the brain.

Technology of the chemical computer is based on "stable cells, deposited on an organic coating. The same scheme of work is observed in the human brain, only as a "stable cell" are the neurons. To create a chemical computer required 2 platform. The first - "individual cells" - organic computing systems consisting of lipids that can carry signals within the molecules. The second platform - an intracellular compound that conducts chemical reactions occurring in the vibrational mode. As a result of these reactions vary periodically parameters - concentration, temperature, color, and others, which allows cells to "communicate" with each other and share certain information. Work "chemical machine" will be on electricity, but any changes will occur as a result of chemical processes.

In the future, based on new computing systems will be producing miniature computers that do not require refrigeration, consume less energy production to be considerably cheaper than computing the present time. When you create a chemical computers will be taken into account all the trends in software, therefore, these devices will work with any modern software applications.

Plans for scientists involved in the project are broad and ambitious. They are going to present to the world of molecular robot technology to create supertochnyh industries, the design of intelligent drugs and control of chemical processes in living organisms.
