Computing using molecules like DNA to process information and solve problems.
## The Adleman Experiment
Adleman's breakthrough showed that a test tube full of DNA could solve a math problem that would take a standard computer much longer. By representing cities as DNA sequences and paths as complementary strands, the 'answer' becomes the dominant molecule in the solution after several cycles of synthesis and filtration.

🧬 It's like using DNA as the 'letters' of a computer code to solve puzzles.
