 Mathematicians say computers based on 1's and O's will give way to
molecular systems that can simultaneously process arrays of data.
Quantum information systems can tackle problems that today take years
to solve. Mark K. Anderson reports from the workshop on Quantum
Information Processing in Amsterdam.

Scientists have built a pair of tweezers from DNA, the molecule that carries the
"code of life".

Each arm on the tiny tool is just seven nanometres (millionths of a millimetre) 
in length.
