    Which is the smallest computer in the world?

    Question #95170. Asked by matka11. (Apr 29 08 6:11 AM)

    		The world's smallest computer (around a trillion can fit in a drop of water) might one day go on record again as the tiniest medical kit.

    Made entirely of biological molecules, this computer was successfully programmed to identify - in a test tube - changes in the balance of molecules in the body that indicate the presence of certain cancers, to diagnose the type of cancer, and to react by producing a drug molecule to fight the cancer cells.

    It was reported in 2003 and was listed in the 2004 Guinness Book of World Records as the smallest biological computing device.
