Jokes:

  • That means that hardware will also be affected by viruses (or viri, as the proper latin dictates).

  • You won't be buying NPN or PNP transistors, but rather ACA and TGT transistors (remember the letters in the RNA sequence, AT, CG)?

Seriously now, I honestly believe that is a few decades from becoming a reality in the market. Probably what follows is that Stanford applies for a patent for the idea or the proccess, so that noone can explore that possibility in the future without paying huge royalties to Stanford or the scientists.

IBM has done the above several times. I the 90's I was a subscriber of PC World and remember reading about the "new" technologies in data transmission that would change forever the way chips are built. Quantum and optical CPUs were the core of the idea. 20+ years after that and we still have none of those.
