An international team of molecular biologists, computer scientists and physicists has found a way to encode useable digital data onto DNA strands 350 times faster than current approaches. In their ...

In three back-to-back papers and five pages of the April 25, 1953, issue of Nature, seven authors laid out the evidence and interpretation that established the double helical structure of DNA. As ever ...

Encoding information in DNA has long seemed like a promising way to secure data for the long term, but so far it has required an expert touch. It turns out that you don’t need to be a scientist to ...

Researchers use mini plasma explosions to encode the equivalent of two million books into a coaster-sized device. The method could preserve research data for millennia with minimal storage costs.

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American Remember that news-making ENCODE study with ...

The rise of streaming architectures — frameworks of software components built to ingest and process large volumes of data from multiple sources — is driving the demand for better reliability and ...

That's not hex. It's also impossible to figure this out unless you tell us other things, like what kind of file it is. If you're talking about the wide swath of stuff in the middle "0D 00 00 5F 8B 45 ...

Borosilicate glass, the same material used in lab equipment and kitchen cookware, can encode data using femtosecond lasers at densities and lifespans no existing archival medium can match, according ...
