An international team of molecular biologists, computer scientists and physicists has found a way to encode useable digital data onto DNA strands 350 times faster than current approaches. In their ...

What if a single sentence could carry two completely different meanings, one when read forward and another when read backward ...

With the exponential growth of digital data and the limitations of conventional silicon-based storage and computing technologies, bio-inspired, DNA-driven computing and information storage has emerged ...

Carina Imburgia is at the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195, USA. To address these limitations, Zhang et al. have developed ...

Encoding information in DNA has long seemed like a promising way to secure data for the long term, but so far it has required an expert touch. It turns out that you don’t need to be a scientist to ...

With their 'T-REX' method, researchers developed a glassy, amber-like polymer that can be used for long-term storage of DNA, such as entire human genomes or digital files such as photos. In the movie ...

Red arrows indicate the nuclear spin axes at the positions of the N3 nitrogen atoms on the guanine (G) bases. Due to the helical structure of DNA, there is an angular deviation in the orientation of ...

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 ...
