This radical new method could preserve our entire knowledge base for thousands of years, in a storage medium the size of a coffee cup.

At technology conferences back in 2015, scientist David Markowitz raised the idea that DNA could be adapted as a data storage material. The audience response wasn’t all he had hoped for. “They would ...

Carina Imburgia is at the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195, USA. To address these limitations, Zhang et al. have developed ...

Overview of the DNA Palette encoding scheme: (a) Raw data: Brain MRI data. (b) Illustration of the DNA Palette encoding process: The DNA Palette code establishes a bijection between binary sequences ...

You might be familiar with a gigabyte, one of the most popular units of measure for computer storage. A two-hour movie is 3 gigabytes on average, while your phone can probably store 256 gigabytes. But ...

Humanity is generating data faster than it can be stored, and the hard drives and tape libraries that quietly underpin the cloud are already straining to keep up. As the gap widens between what we ...

Scientists may be one step closer to creating digital data storage out of DNA after developing a glassy, amber-like material to preserve the molecule. The first DNA sequence to be stored in this way ...

DNA has tremendous potential as a data storage medium, but the process of synthesizing DNA from scratch is time-consuming. It has to be done one nucleotide at a time in a specific sequence. New ...

Like Pac-Man frantically gobbling up pixelated dots, the world is furiously consuming data. Unlike Pac-Man, the world is in danger of becoming full—and soon. Data is entering our lives and driving our ...

In our current information/data age, the storage and protection of data is an extremely important part of any business venture. The degree of digital data being produced, globally, has long been ...

Paris-based startup Biomemory has launched new DNA cards that allow owners to store up to one kilobyte of DNA data on a credit card-sized storage device. It works by converting digital information ...

June 10 (UPI) --Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a new technique for labeling and retrieving DNA data files -- a breakthrough that could help shrink the carbon ...
