Nine years after Florian Markowetz declared all biology computational biology, the field has inverted. We no longer crunch data about life. We program life itself as the ultimate computing substrate.
China just approved the world's first commercial invasive BCI. This isn't a research milestone — it's a geopolitical opening move.
A single AAV injection carrying a working OTOF gene restored hearing in all ten patients born deaf. This isn't medicine. It's a firmware update.
DNA is no longer just a storage molecule — it's the hardware for autonomous nanorobots that sense, compute, and act inside living systems. Here's what the 2025–2026 breakthroughs actually mean.
From John C. Lilly's 1968 vision of the brain as programmable hardware to Cortical Labs' $35,000 CL1, biocomputing has crossed from philosophy into product. Here's how we got here.
Evolution had 3.8 billion years. ABI gives us an afternoon. Adrian Woolfson and Eric Topol map the shift from reading DNA to authoring entire genomes — and what it means for biological computing.
You can now buy a computer powered by living human brain cells or rent organoids in the cloud. We map the full 2026 landscape—from wetware processors to Neuralink trials and programmable cell therapies.
As organoid biocomputers grow more complex, scientists are confronting a question they never expected to face in a lab: at what point does a cluster of living neurons deserve moral consideration?
CRISPR lets scientists rewrite DNA like editing a document. Here's what that means for humanity.
