BBC News have reported that the worlds first chemical ‘brain’ composed of 17 molecules has been demonstrated by Dr Anirban Bandyopadhyay of the International Center for Young Scientists, Tsukuba, Japan. Using 17 molecules chemical duroquinone to act as individual ‘logic centres’ they are manipulated using a scanning tunnelling microscope to allow for a possible 4 billion different configurations.
Currently Dr Bandyopadhyay used the brain to control the actions of 8 separate nanomachines, although they already have created one that can control 256 machines simultaneously and have plans for one to control 1024.
Possible applications of this technology could be seen across all areas, but most definitely will have an impact on medicine and computing - these nano-brains, measuring just 2 nanometres across, can control up to 16 bits of information in one operation. Current computer processors control just 1 bit, albeit at billions of times a second.
