I have a 2001 Book Of Guinness World Records on my bookshelf. Source of endless oddities. :D

As for that guy... man, I figured that would be an Australian. ;)

Smallest Biological Computing Device

A team of scientists led by Ehud Shapiro of the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, have adapted molecules of DNA to act as tiny molecular computing devices. Two DNA molecules and a molecule called an enzyme react together, acting as input, software, hardware, and power supply.

Experiments have shown that a microlitre of salt solution, containing 3 trillion self-contained DNA computing devices can perform 66 billion operations per second, with the necessary power/fuel for the computations provided by the DNA itself as it is cleaved by the hardware enzyme.

:eek2: Cool!
