Field notes
Prometheus frames DNA synthesis as an iteration-speed and cost problem, proposing an enzymatic architecture built around a microfluidic chip. Its comparison table lists a target of under 10 seconds and €0.0001–€0.005 per nucleotide, versus roughly 80–690 seconds and €0.08–€0.15 for the named alternatives. The page explicitly marks the Prometheus figures as projected and not yet experimentally demonstrated.
