Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

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 ...

The value of digital data of all types has always been important, but with the growth of today’s AI models and the data centers that support them, the need for data has exploded. This is an important ...

In context: Due to its mind-boggling density, scientists have explored using DNA as a data storage medium for years. A single gram of DNA could theoretically hold a staggering 215,000 terabytes of ...

Engineered DNA can store massive amounts of data while also encrypting it, opening the door to ultra-secure, long-term digital storage.

Scientists may be one step closer to creating digital data storage out of DNA after developing a glassy, amber-like material to preserve the molecule. The first DNA sequence to be stored in this way ...

Since the computer age began, storing and securing escalating data volumes has been a headache. But that problem could potentially be solved using DNA.
