The Age of AI will rely on massive volumes of data that can be easily stored and retrieved—and bioscience may have an ...

Scientists have recently discovered an innovative approach to data storage by harnessing the natural capabilities of DNA.

DNA IS THE oldest information-storage system known. It predates every other, from pencil and paper to computer hard drives, by billions of years. But attempts to employ it to store data generated ...

British scientists think DNA could be used to solve a global problem - where to store all our data.

Our digital universe, the set of all digital data worldwide, is forecast to grow to over 16 zettabytes in 2017. This exponential growth is quickly exceeding our ability to store it, even when ...

Scientists say they have made a major step forward in efforts to store information as molecules of DNA, which are more compact and long-lasting than other options.

Scientists successfully store computer files in DNA "We believe this is the highest-density data-storage device ever created," said computer scientist Yaniv Erlich.

Before DNA data storage can be more widely used researchers need to work out how store multiple megabytes of data — the aim is to store zettabytes (sextillion or 10 to the power 21 bytes), says ...

You could say that exploring the frontier of data storage is in their genes.Researchers working to store information in the form of DNA say they have developed a way to hold an MP3 file containing 26 ...

Using DNA as a storage for digital data may sound like science fiction but with the resent work published in Nature Communications shows that it is not, rather it is reality.

It’s your DNA, after all. But increasingly, scientists and researchers are learning ways to load all kinds of additional data onto DNA made in labs—including computer viruses.

You can't save data on a quantum computer. So a commercial one will need to use vintage tech—ultra dense hard drives, maybe made of DNA or single atoms.
