New Breakthrough In DNA Based Storage Can Fit The Entire YouTube On A Spoon

Absolutely amazing! Data storage embedded in DNA ??! Whoa! Apparently, one of the biggest hang-ups now is trying to speed up the process of writing to artificial DNA. It’s very, very slow… takes a day to imprint MB’s of data. Wonder if we’ll ever get there? Maybe. Major, major breakthrough if it ever happens. GettingContinue reading “New Breakthrough In DNA Based Storage Can Fit The Entire YouTube On A Spoon”
