Abstract

This paper analyzes the early publications in which the ideas concerning the possibility of creating artificial objects similar to those of the microcosm (including DNA molecules) that could be used in electronic engineering were put forward. In 1959–1965, American scientists Richard Phillips Feynman and Norbert Wiener and a Soviet scientist Mikhail Samoilovich Neiman suggested that it is possible to create such artificial objects with capabilities similar to those of microcosmic objects, such as storing big data. It is worth emphasizing that, in his three publications in the Radiotekhnika journal, Neiman not just offered his ideas but expounded in detail how these ideas could be implemented and provided some preliminary calculations. The high topicality of Neiman’s ideas expressed 55 years ago is reflected in numerous citations of his papers in scientific publications in the leading international journals and patents during the last five years as well as by the development of devices based on synthesized DNA.
