Researchers created a biological dual-core processor by a cell using #CRISPR #Cas9 components from two different #bacteria

This #biologicalcomputer is extremely small, & in theory can be infinitely scaled up. Imagine a #microtissue with billions of cells, each equipped with its own dual-core processor. Such ‘#computationalorgans’ could theoretically attain computing power that far outstrips that of a digital #supercomputer using just a fraction of the energy
