A full DNA computer is a step closer, thanks to a new technology that could store petabytes of data in DNA for thousands or even millions of years. The system can also process data, as demonstrated by ...

Bioengineers at Stanford University have turned living cells into data storage devices that can store a rewriteable small amount data, just like silicon devices. Sections of DNA in the researchers' ...

DNA is nature’s computing device. Unlike data centers, DNA is incredibly compact. These molecules package an entire organism’s genetic blueprint into tiny but sophisticated structures inside each cell ...

Cambridge scientists have developed a new prototype for computer memory that could make for faster chips that could hold up to 100 times more data. The system is made up of barium bridges between ...

Working at a microscopic level, Caroline Ross actually creates and modifies MRAM, or magnetoresistive random-access memory. When we store our birthday photos and thesis papers on our PCs, our thought ...

A computer stores data, including its operating system, programs and your personal files, on hard drives. You can replace a hard drive by opening your computer's case ...

Quantum computing will process massive amounts of information. Workloads could include diagnostic simulations and analysis at speeds far greater than existing computing. But, to be fully effective, ...
