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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

In the era of big data, global mass data flow has presented data storage systems with a looming challenge. As DNA has incredibly high storage density – a single gram of DNA can store 215,000 terabytes ...

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 ...

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 — ...
