Wired (Jan. 24) -- The federal Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has begun investing millions in discovering radical, nonbinary ways to work with data. “Molecules offer a very different approach to ‘computing’ than the 0s and 1s of our existing digital systems,” says Anne Fischer, the program manager for DARPA’s Molecular Informatics program, which has so far awarded $15.3 million to projects at Harvard University, Brown University, the U. of I. and the University of Washington.
