Every cell in your body contains a bundle of nucleic acid—deoxyribonucleic acid, to be specific. More commonly known as DNA, this molecule contains all the genetic information that makes you a ...
New 'cassette tape' made of DNA has the capacity to store 36 petabytes of data, which could change the future of digital ...
A US-based biotechnology company has launched the Atlas Eon 100, the first scalable service ...
Humanity generates 2.5 quintillion bytes of data -- enough to max out the storage capacity of about 40 million iPhones -- every day. Much of it gets stored "in the cloud," meaning it's saved in ...
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 ...
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 ...
Scientists add seven new letters to the existing nucleotide alphabet, opening the door for extreme levels of data storage capacity. Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate ...
French digital data startup Biomemory SAS has announced what it claims is the first instance of DNA-based storage being made available to the general public, with the launch of its new DNA memory ...
DNA is a much denser data storage medium than anything humans can design, but the problem is that it’s fragile. So now scientists have taken another page out of nature’s book and created artificial ...
It won't be long before you can write megabytes of data per second on synthetic DNA that will be readable for thousands of years. Image: iStockphoto/Svisio Not all of the nine zettabytes of data ...
The research community is excited about the potential of DNA to function as long-term archival storage. That’s largely because it’s extremely dense, chemically stable for tens of thousands of years, ...
Microsoft just made history as the company created a significant breakthrough in using artificial DNA to store data and information. The company operated with the University of Washington's Molecular ...
