New Biocomputer Solves Problems via Bacteria
2 min read
A McGill-led team published research in Microsystems & Nanoengineering (2026) describing a bacteria-based biocomputer that explores multiple solutions simultaneously. Using a 20-year collaboration, the system employs bacterial division to create one million chips, solving complex problems like protein mapping more efficiently than standard solid-state computers by testing routes in parallel through microfluidic networks.
