A full DNA computer is a step closer, thanks to a new technology that could store petabytes of data in DNA for thousands or even millions of years. The system can also process data, as demonstrated by ...

Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

An engineering researcher at RIT has discovered the means to process data using DNA. Their biocomputing design is a breakthrough that builds on innovative DNA engineering and computing system advances ...

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 ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University and Johns Hopkins University have demonstrated a technology capable of a suite of data storage and computing functions – repeatedly storing, retrieving ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

It’s no secret that computers can smoke humans at chess. And now, as if to further mock our mere organic forms, scientists say they’ve created a computer made out of DNA that can play the board game — ...

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 ...

With the exponential growth of digital data and the limitations of conventional silicon-based storage and computing technologies, bio-inspired, DNA-driven computing and information storage has emerged ...

The hereditary molecule DNA can store a great deal of information over long periods of time in a very small space. For a good ten years, scientists have therefore been pursuing the goal of developing ...
