Reasearchers at the University of Manchester have build a computer called a non-deterministic universal Turing machine (NUTM), from DNA – which can replicate itself to explore a series of computations when faced with a decision making problem and being so infinitesimal even a huge number of replications could fit in a very small space, says the co author of the published results in Journal of Royal Society Interface, Ross King. Thought of only as a theoritical concept until now, this finding has definitely proved the concept established by the previous researches along with the feasibitlity of such a solution in the lab conditions.
