Brain MRI scans provide invaluable insights into our bodies. However, the sheer volume of data generated presents a major obstacle for long-term storage. Researchers at China’s Tianjin University have ...

Harvard scientists successfully recorded five frames of Eadweard Muybridge's 1887 galloping horse on living bacteria, and retrieved the images in sequence. When harnessed, this system has the ...

University of Texas at Austin researchers have developed a new method to encode information in synthetic molecules. Molecules like DNA can store large amounts of data without requiring an energy ...

To test DNA’s media-storage capabilities, Erlich, an assistant professor of computer science at Columbia University in New York City, and Dina Zielinski, a senior associate scientist at the New York ...

Researchers from the Henry and Marilyn Taub Faculty of Computer Science have developed an AI-based method that accelerates DNA-based data retrieval by three orders of magnitude while significantly ...

A team of researchers from the University of Washington has proven that it is possible to encode malicious software onto strands of DNA, causing the gene sequencer analyzing it to turn the data into a ...

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 ...

DNA is known to keep its form for centuries, and the researchers found that their tape could store data for more than 345 years at room temperature, or about 20,000 years at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 ...

Caption main figure: The rigid base-pair model is forced, using 28 constraints (indicated by red spheres), into a lefthanded superhelical path that mimics the DNA conformation in the nucleosome.
