As computers get more and more powerful and artificial intelligence algorithms improve, few games remain where the best humans can reliably beat their electronic counterparts. In chess this barrier ...

This is something that computers can do very well; that's why tic-tac-toe was the first graphical computer game ever created all the way back in 1952. With their sugar computer, Schiller and his ...

With that mapping in place, the droplet was able to identify further handwritten digits. The droplets then faced off against an ideal, standard computer in games of tic-tac-toe.

A DNA computer has been developed that can play tic-tac-toe against a human and never lose. The device uses a complex mixture of DNA strands and DNA-based enzymes to determine where it should place ...

A grid of 9 wells corresponds to the squares on a tic-tac-toe grid A computer that uses strands of DNA to perform calculations has mastered the game tic-tac-toe. MAYA-II, developed by researchers ...

This allows the MAYA-II to play a complete game of Tic-Tac-Toe against a human opponent, and apparently nearly always win.

A simple computer made of DNA strands in test tubes can now play a complete game of tic-tac-toe--and will beat or draw you every time. The result demonstrates a new level of complexity in DNA ...

While strands of DNA may be able to pick fights with other strands, one thing that they can't do yet is play computer games -- that is, until now. In what appears to be an early proof-of-concept for ...

A DNA computer called MAYA has won every game of tic tac toe it has played against human opponents - over 100 in all. In the classic puzzle, also called noughts and crosses, two players take turns to ...
