I feel amazing with the new research describing in the article "Chemical computer that mimics neurons to be created. " in BBC News. I usually feel excited about the breakthrough technology that can change the world and this is a very promising one.
The article describe about the research which is the collaboration among scientists form many country to create a computation unit that is made of biological components. Unlike ordinary computing unit used among computers nowadays which is based on inorganic material such as galium or silicon, this molecular computation unit can be applied directly into human body without the need to create interfacing unit between machine and human body. The project collaborator Klaus-Peter Zauner of the University of Southampton foresee that after realizing the technology, we can find its biological application such as "controlling molecular robots, fine-grained control of chemical assembly, and intelligent drugs."( paragraph 8)
I think such a breakthrough technology can create a great impact on the whole human's lives. In future, based on this technology we might be able to find the new way to cure currently untreatable disease such as cancer or AIDS. Although, during the research period such project consumes resources so heavily that many people cannot tolerate such a project, in the future it could bring about plenty of unexpected benefits to the world.
