Microsoft Excel is a powerful tool for carrying out complex calculations. If you work on Excel, then you might come across performing mathematical operations almost every day. Sometimes, we face ...

Somewhere around middle school, you learned about squaring numbers and the inverse, finding the square root of a number, but a little reminder can't hurt. You square a number when you multiply it by ...

We have seen the use of digital roots to check various calculations. Today we look at how we can make use of digital roots to find square roots. There are two uses of digital root in squares. It helps ...

DNA is like software, telling our cellular and molecular hardware what to do – except it uses biochemical reactions rather than the electronic circuitry of computers we’re used to. Now, researchers ...

Biological systems have caught the attention of computer scientists, who have been turning everything from RNA molecules to entire bacterial colonies into logic gates. So far, however, these systems ...

A computer made from strands of DNA in a test tube can calculate the square root of numbers up to 900. Chunlei Guo at the University of Rochester in New York state and colleagues developed a computer ...

The square root of a number N is a number which, when squared (multiplied by itself), results in N. How did the ancient Greeks find square roots? Their method is nowadays called a ‘Greek ladder’, ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. A test-tube circuit made of DNA-based logic gates can calculate the ...

While DNA-based computing may not be taking over silicon quite so soon, there is progress in the works. In a paper published by Small, researchers from the University of Rochester demonstrate a ...

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 ...
