DNA computing might be an interesting new domain [1]. The idea is to use DNA as a memory, while using proteins/RNA as logic operators. This can provide massive speed and efficiency gains, especially for optimisation problems that need parallelization. Just consider that 4bits of information on DNA take only about 1nm^3 of volume, where solid state memory has about 3Tb/in^2 which is roughly equivalent to 10^7 nm^3.

To me it is still not clear how scalable the DNA computing is, but there are nice proofs of concept already [2].

DNA computing is going to be huge. Nobody is talking about it but a handful of people are slowly pushing it forward.

I am willing to bet that both DNA computing and DNA manufacturing (organically 3D print things, but like how organisms grow) will be yuuuuuuge.

Not sure when it will have its internet moment, but the universe has been doing this for a long time and once we unlock its secrets, we become a wee-bit closer to Gods.
