Humanity is generating data faster than it can be stored, and the hard drives and tape libraries that quietly underpin the ...

Our increasingly digitized world has a data storage problem. Hard drives and other storage media are reaching their limits, and we are creating data faster than we can store it. Fortunately, we don't ...

Storing data in DNA sounds like science fiction, yet it lies in the near future. Experts expect the first DNA data center to be up and running within five to ten years. Data won't be stored as zeros ...

Future data centers might do away with banks of hard drives and switch to a storage medium that nature has been using for billions of years – DNA. In a major step towards making that a reality, ...

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 ...

Scientists may be one step closer to creating digital data storage out of DNA after developing a glassy, amber-like material to preserve the molecule. The first DNA sequence to be stored in this way ...

In context: Researchers have long explored DNA's unique properties as a medium for digital storage. So far, the experiments have fallen short of practical applications. However, new DNA-based ...

French digital data startup Biomemory SAS has announced what it claims is the first instance of DNA-based storage being made available to the general public, with the launch of its new DNA memory ...

A recent documentary on Hitler’s DNA and the supposed de-extinction of the dire wolf have both sparked widespread backlash from scientists ...

Analysis of Adolf Hitler’s DNA reveals he may have had a rare genetic disorder that delays puberty, a new documentary says. Experts say that more details are needed.
