I just read an interesting article covering a project for artificial neural network created from DNA . What is even more interesting is a slide from the presentation of the research: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgGBZZYEm_Y&t=3m59s It's fascinating that intelligence is "devolved" to simple molecule interactions. This reminds me of how the computer is brought to life by one of nature's tools: the human.
