Theory and Construction of Molecular Computers

Molecular computing is a research area which aims to explore the potential of computation by molecules. Although the idea dates back to Feynman, it became realistic only when Adleman succeeded in solving a Hamiltonian path problem using DNA. The research community for the investigation and development of DNA Based Computers was then quickly formed by groups in the United States, Europe, Japan, etc.
