Tiny Brain-Like Computer Created

The most powerful computer known is the brain, and now scientists have designed a machine just a few molecules large that mimics how the brain works.

So far the device can simultaneously carry out 16 times more operations than a normal computer transistor. Researchers suggest the invention might eventually prove able to perform roughly 1,000 times more operations than a transistor.

This machine could not only serve as the foundation of a powerful computer, but also serve as the controlling element of complex gadgets such as microscopic doctors or factories, scientists added.

The device is made of a compound known as duroquinone. This molecule resembles a hexagonal plate with four cones linked to it, "like a small car," explained researcher Anirban Bandyopadhyay, an artificial intelligence and molecular electronics scientist at the National Institute for Materials Science at Tsukuba in Japan.

Duroquinone is less than a nanometer, or a billionth of a meter large. This makes it hundreds of times smaller than a wavelength of visible light.

The machine is made of 17 duroquinone molecules. One molecule sits at the center of a ring formed by the remaining 16. The entire invention sits on a surface of gold.

What the? I guess I'm just a redneck dumbass, cause I didn't understand any of that.....

I gave up halfway through. Comprehension is hard.

Let me translate... Blah blah computers rule this computer especially. Blah blah japanese guy, blah blah really smart computer blah shit shit shit blah. Humans are going to be 2nd to computers blah blah shit soon blah.

LOL... excellent translation for those who live in 'tuckyville :) or are technologically challenged

ouch, I'll remember that:D

Glad I stopped going by "Sarah Conner"
