DNA as fastest computer mirrors city flight paths
Adleman demonstrates using DNA to solve a seven-city travel problem by encoding cities and flights in DNA tags and letting molecular pairing assemble all viable routes. He retrieves the shortest path from start to end, arguing DNA can compute far faster than conventional supercomputers and may reveal evolved computational tricks. MIT’s Gifford calls it a philosophical stake in a new era.
