Researchers from Microsoft and the University of Washington have demonstrated the first fully automated system to store and retrieve data in manufactured DNA — a key step in moving the technology out ...

Modern archiving technology cannot keep up with the growing tsunami of bits. But nature may hold an answer to that problem already. For Nick Goldman, the idea of encoding data in DNA started out as a ...

Engineers at EPFL have created a new computer chip that can both process and store data in the same circuit. It’s made using a two-dimensional material called molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2), paving the ...

Luis Ceze works for University of Washington and consults for Microsoft Research. He receives funding from Microsoft, NSF and DARPA. Karin Strauss works for Microsoft Research and is an affiliate ...

A zettabyte is a trillion gigabytes. That’s a lot—but, according to one estimate, humanity will produce a hundred and eighty zettabytes of digital data this year. It all adds up: PowerPoints and ...

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 ...

A liquid hard drive containing a suspension of nanoparticles could be used to store impressive amounts of data: 1 terabyte per tablespoon. Researchers from the University of Michigan and New York ...

The Age of AI will rely on massive volumes of data that can be easily stored and retrieved—and bioscience may have an ingenious solution. A scientist examines a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) profile on ...

Data might be the most valuable resource in the world, but we’re quickly approaching the physical limits of the magnetic systems we use to store most of it. Additionally, mining the materials needed ...

Open the Planetary Computer data catalog and you will find all kinds of useful data: from decades’ worth of satellite imagery to biomass maps, from the US Census to fire data. All together, there are ...
