Forward-looking: Companies and research institutions have been exploring DNA as a potential "storage system" for archiving digital data for a long time. A new approach is now emerging, offering ...

Scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have used bacteria for recording, storing, and retrieving images in DNA. This biological analog to a digital camera, which the authors have ...

It is possible to classify images simply by analysing the way that trillions of DNA molecules in a test tube connect together into different shapes. Conventional computers must be fully assembled ...

Scientists have captured the highest-resolution images ever taken of DNA, revealing previously unseen twisting and squirming behaviors. Deoxyribonucleic acid, otherwise known as DNA, can be ...

Current genetic sequencing techniques can provide much information about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or a drop of blood. But they are unable to reveal where ...

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 ...

In a recent article published in Nature communications*, researchers described a technique of capturing two-dimensional (2D) light patterns into deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and using high-throughput ...
