Boffins work out how to build a self-replicating computer
 

Age of Intel, Nvidia and AMD will be past

Boffins armed with white boards and slide rules claim it is possible to build a self-replicating computer that replaces silicon chips with processors made from DNA molecules.


Dubbed a nondeterministic universal Turing machine (NUTM), it could execute all possible algorithms at once by taking advantage of DNA's ability to replicate almost perfect copies of itself over billions of years.
