DNA is known to keep its form for centuries, and the researchers found that their tape could store data for more than 345 ...

Genetic information stored in DNA molecules makes life on Earth possible, but what if humans could use the same kind of technology to store their own data? Apparently, scientists have figured out how ...

New 'cassette tape' made of DNA has the capacity to store 36 petabytes of data, which could change the future of digital ...

They built a cassette tape of DNA big enough to store every song ever recorded. In traditional DNA storage, all the data is mixed together. That’s why it’s so hard to retrieve it. To read one piece of ...

We and our colleagues have developed a way to store data using pegs and pegboards made out of DNA and retrieving the data with a microscope – a molecular version of the Lite-Brite toy. Our prototype ...
