Gene machine

Quantum computers could be speeded up with DNA, says Alik Kasumov of the
University of Paris Sud. He found that a strand of DNA from an E. coli
bacterium became superconducting when each end was connected to cryogenically
cooled electrodes (Science, vol 291, p 171). Kasumov believes this
DNA—with no electrical resistance—could one day make transistors for
quantum computers.
