While silicon computers have changed the face of society, they are still dwarfed by the brains of most animals. For example, a cat's brain stores 1,000 times more data than an average iPad and can use that information a million times faster. The human brain, with its trillion neural connections, is capable of 15 quintillion operations per second

A study published in Nature Nanotechnology led by Prof. Danny Porat of the Hebrew University demonstrated for the first time the conduction of a significant electric current over a long distance in DNA molecules. The discovery is currently used as a basis for the development of a detector that can sensitively and quickly detect cancer markers and even the corona virus
