Using heat to power up molecular systems

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Synthetic DNA circuits and neural networks have previously been developed to process molecular information while consuming energy stored in kinetic traps. Now they have been re-engineered to take in energy from heat when the temperature increases, and to recharge themselves by restoring kinetic traps for subsequent computation. Heat can be used as an energy source to recharge DNA-based circuits and neural networks for further computation.
