Massive volumes of digital data are generated every day from AI training, big data analytics and smart devices. As conventional hard drives and cloud storage are increasingly constrained by high costs, limited capacity, high power consumption and short lifespans, molecular data storage has emerged as a breakthrough storage alternative.

Chip shortage solved! Long live the new flesh!
We had a 2 hours blackout and the -80 freezer got warm.
I hope you got some backups of your backup.
And minutes of data integrity, right?
MY NFT IS ON DNA
A wild particle appears! It’s super effective!
Honey, I ate the family photos to bulk up.
Mmmm, edible USB sticks 🤤
emerged as a breakthrough storage alternative.
Breakthrough alternative my ass. This is basic research.
For example the writing speed into this “storage”, it is still as slow as a little child’s handwriting.
I’m just imagining someone waiting ~36 hours for their e.coli culture to grow enough to produce a signal… and finally download their MLP fanfic.
All I want is to have a future advanced archeology mission discovery my MLP fanfics
Me too!
thunderous speed in the range of minutes per residue (not every aminoacid can be used and what they’re printing is dna, not proteins so multiply it 3x. they’re encoding 3 bits per aminoacid, but there’s overhead, error correction and structural requirements that make data density lower than 1 bit per nucleobase)
