Parallel Computing with Nanotechnology

Just as the pundits have concluded that Moore’s Law has run its course, nano-biological computing raises prospects for things such as a palm device (smartphone) having supercomputing capabilities. Using nanoparticles of a protein such as myosin and moving them through a maze of channels allow parallel computing to carry out multiple calculations simultaneously, rather than in sequence as with classical computers. Researchers at Sweden’s Lund University have demonstrated the proof of principle that nano-bio computing is feasible and within a ten year window of becoming commercial for everyday devices.
