DNA holds the code for all living things – and now it can solve square-root problems too. Researchers have built the largest and most sophisticated system yet that performs calculations using DNA. The ...

Loops are a commonly used structure in programming that allows you to repeat a block of code a set number of times, or until you meet a particular condition. This is useful for many reasons. For ...

A new DNA computer calculates square roots of perfect squares up to 900. Like quantum computers, DNA computers are an exciting frontier of post-silicon computing. Where previous examples were up to 4 ...

A root is the opposite of a power. The root of a number is another number that can be multiplied by itself to get the first number. As 2 squared is 4, then a square root of 4 must be 2: \(2^2 = 4\).
