Building blocks of human body will serve as a model for the new microprocessors of International Business Machines Corp. In a move to build smaller microchips and save costs the computer maker plans to use artificial DNA nanostructures, or "DNA origami" to build tiny microchips.

"This is the first demonstration of using biological molecules to help with processing in the semiconductor industry," IBM research manager Spike Narayan said in an interview with Reuters.

According to the recent press release of YapStone, Inc., the company has acquired the assets of privately-held Paymerica, LLC (“Paymerica”), an independent sales organization (ISO) processing over $1.2 billion annually.
