DNA can store information for millions of years without any energy input, but scientists have lacked reliable energy sources to enable DNA computations. Credit: Kateryna Kon/SPL Researchers have found a new way to power DNA computers — tiny biological devices that perform calculations using biochemical properties of DNA bases rather than conventional silicone chips, which use electricity to carry out …

Key Questions Answered Q: What did the study uncover about how the brain processes materials?A: It found that different brain regions are tuned to process rigid objects versus substances like water or sand. Q: Why does this distinction matter?A: It allows the brain to plan actions based on how each type of material behaves—like grasping a tool or scooping a …
