Engineered DNA can store massive amounts of data while also encrypting it, opening the door to ultra-secure, long-term ...

The title of the article “Many Researchers Leave Science within 5 Years” is misleading. The studies referenced in the article applied to academic careers. The title and the article itself should have ...

Since the dawn of the computer age, researchers have wrestled with two persistent challenges: how to store ever-increasing ...

Scientists show how stem cells process DNA with speed and precision, revealing principles that could lead to programmable DNA-based chips for biotechnology and medicine. (Nanowerk News) In the human ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The investigations of KIT researchers have shown that biomolecular condensates enable fast yet reliable activation of the right genes. “Biomolecular condensates are tiny drops that form in specific ...
