This radical new method could preserve our entire knowledge base for thousands of years, in a storage medium the size of a ...

As efficient as electronic data storage systems can be, they've got nothing on nature's own version – DNA. A new technique for writing data to DNA works like a printing press and makes it easy enough ...

Humanity generates 2.5 quintillion bytes of data -- enough to max out the storage capacity of about 40 million iPhones -- every day. Much of it gets stored "in the cloud," meaning it's saved in ...

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 ...

Scientists add seven new letters to the existing nucleotide alphabet, opening the door for extreme levels of data storage capacity. Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate ...

As data storage needs have grown over the years, so has the development of new technologies, such as Microsoft's Project Silica and diamond optical discs, which can make it easier to store large ...

It won't be long before you can write megabytes of data per second on synthetic DNA that will be readable for thousands of years. Image: iStockphoto/Svisio Not all of the nine zettabytes of data ...

DNA is a much denser data storage medium than anything humans can design, but the problem is that it’s fragile. So now scientists have taken another page out of nature’s book and created artificial ...

DNA is the future of data storage, and it just got more viable as a team of researchers find a way to encode direct access. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes to get you as ...

The research community is excited about the potential of DNA to function as long-term archival storage. That’s largely because it’s extremely dense, chemically stable for tens of thousands of years, ...
