Researchers have made DNA storage rewritable, overcoming one of its biggest limitations. The breakthrough could turn DNA into a practical alternative to today’s energy-hungry data centers. The post ...

According to Li-Qun Gu, DNA is an extremely compact, stable package of information. Natural DNA strands encode the biological blueprints of all life on Earth but ...

Scientists are exploring synthetic DNA as a way to store massive amounts of data. Now, University of Missouri researchers, led by Li-Qun “Andrew” Gu, are taking it a step further by developing a ...

Around the world, scientists are exploring an unexpected solution to the growing data crisis: storing digital information in ...

Like DNA hard drives, the approach could lock the world's data down for the long haul—if researchers can make it practical. We have a data storage problem. This year, the world’s storage needs will ...

With over three zettabytes (3,000 billion billion bytes) of digital information floating around the world, it is challenging to store the constant flow. Up until now, we’ve used a hard drive, or a ...

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 ...
