In the face of rising emissions from data centres, researchers are turning to micro-explosions in glass, and using DNA to solve big data's big problem.

DNA, the genetic blueprints in every living organism, is nature's most efficient storage mechanism, capable of storing about ...

Paris-based startup Biomemory has launched new DNA cards that allow owners to store up to one kilobyte of DNA data on a credit card-sized storage device. It works by converting digital information ...

Shakespeare’s entire catalog of sonnets and eight of his tragedies, all of Wikipedia’s English-language pages, and one of the first movies ever made: scientists have been able to fit the contents of ...

Biomemory SAS, a company that focuses on developing DNA-based data storage devices, today announced it has raised $18 million in an early-stage funding to complete the development of the first ...

The Age of AI will rely on massive volumes of data that can be easily stored and retrieved—and bioscience may have an ingenious solution. A scientist examines a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) profile on ...

Humanity is generating data faster than it can be stored, and the hard drives and tape libraries that quietly underpin the cloud are already straining to keep up. As the gap widens between what we ...

It could store exabytes of information and last millions of years -- is biology's hard drive destined to be mankind's as well? Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new ...

DNA data storage is a big deal. Partly, it's because we're based on DNA, and any research into manipulation of that molecule will pay dividends for medicine and biology in general -- but in part, it's ...
