Future data centers might switch to a storage medium that nature has been using for billions of years – DNA. In a major step towards making that a reality, scientists have created a new system ...

DNA isn’t just for genetics anymore—it’s shaping up to be the ultimate storage device, especially for your photographs.

As efficient as electronic data storage systems can be, they've got nothing on nature's own version – DNA. A new technique ...

Writing in Nature, Zhang et al. 2 report a fresh take on DNA data storage inspired by epigenetics — the biological systems that regulate gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence.

The DNA computer is still in its infancy. But unlike previous generations, this one captures storage and compute in one system. “There’s a lot of excitement about molecular data storage and ...

DNA-based information is a new field hoping to fill the gap in long-term data storage by using DNA as an information storage medium. Despite DNA’s potential, researchers face problems accurately ...

In the future, your photos might not live on your phone or in the cloud—but inside strands of DNA. While that might sound ...

A single gram can hold 215,000 TB. Technique inspired by epigenetics might help unlock that potential Scientists have ...

More crucially, compared to earlier methods of DNA data storage, the team's innovative system is easily reproducible and scalable. "As we push the boundaries of DNA data storage, ...

The researchers highlight how DNA storage technology has been studied for over 60 years, and they clearly are confident about their ability to develop a working system in a (very) short timeframe.

The DNA movable-type storage system presents a promising route towards economical, sustainable, and environmentally friendly data storage solutions. With the ongoing advancement of high-throughput ...
