New 'cassette tape' made of DNA has the capacity to store 36 petabytes of data, which could change the future of digital ...

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 ...

A US-based biotechnology company has launched the Atlas Eon 100, the first scalable service ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Researchers have demonstrated a technology capable of a suite of data storage and computing functions -- repeatedly storing, retrieving, computing, erasing or rewriting data -- that uses DNA rather ...

The future of storage is currently a massive $1,000 per kilobyte, so there's a way to go. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. This ...

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 ...

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, ...
