COMPUTING RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK [August 12 - 19, 2011]
Detecting Diseases With Computers
Wouldn't it be nice if your computer knew you were sick before you yourself knew? Ehud Shapiro and coauthors from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel have made a bimolecular computer that can detect many types of molecules autonomously. It theoretically could lead to nano-sized computers that would detect disease in your body far before you could know you were sick.
Researchers:
Ehud Shapiro (Weizmann Institute of Science)
Institution(s) (that have supported the research):
Weizmann Institute of Science
