The Future of Computing Includes Biology: AI Computers Powered by Human Brain Cells
Researchers from John Hopkins University and Cortical Labs suggest that it’s time to create a new type of computer that uses biological components. They believe that biological computers could outperform electronic computers in certain applications and use significantly less electricity.The future of computing includes biology says an international team of scientists.The time has come to
Deep distributed computing to reconstruct extremely large lineage trees
AbstractPhylogeny estimation (the reconstruction of evolutionary trees) has recently been applied to CRISPR-based cell lineage tracing, allowing the developmental history of an individual tissue or organism to be inferred from a large number of mutated sequences in somatic cells. However, current computational methods are not able to construct phylogenetic trees from extremely large numbers of…
Vintage Computing Festival Berlin 2021 on site and with live streams
Das Vintage Computing Festival Berlin (VCFB) ist in diesem Jahr "hybrid": Im Pergamon-Palais der HU Berlin präsentieren 20 Aussteller unter dem Motto "Reboot" historische Rechner, Kunst und praktische Software für Retrobastler. In kostenlosen Vorträgen und Livestreams kann man über wiki.vcfb.de/2021 aus der Ferne den Vorträgen zuhören oder an Workshops auf dem BigBlueButton-System des VCFB e.V.…
Quantum Computing | Bitcoin’s Doomsday Maker
Government intervention, poor usability, high network fees – which one of these poses the most significant threat to Bitcoin? The answer may be none of them. Although the Bitcoin network is incredibly secure under the current condition of computers, there’s an even greater threat looming overhead. Quantum computers have the potential to make Bitcoin’s security…
