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 ...

The new storage system could hold family photos, cultural artifacts and the master versions of digital artworks, movies, ...

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 ...

Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and wrote about processors, digital photography, AI, quantum computing, computer science, materials science, supercomputers, drones, browsers, 3D ...

DNA is nature’s computing device. Unlike data centers, DNA is incredibly compact. These molecules package an entire organism’s genetic blueprint into tiny but sophisticated structures inside each cell ...

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 a storage capacity of 36 petabytes, a DNA-based cassette tape can hold every song every recorded, and it could be on the ...

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 ...

Forward-looking: Researchers around the world are embracing DNA-based storage right now. Mixing digital data and biology could bridge the best of both worlds, though a few challenges are still slowing ...

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 — ...
