Single DNA molecule could store information for a million years following scientific breakthrough
Scientists have developed a way of storing vast quantities of information for up to a million years in a single molecule of DNA.

The breakthrough could lead to digital archives of everything from ancient texts to Wikipedia changes being stored in the form of DNA that could in theory survive for hundreds of thousands of years without any loss of data.

Robert Grass and colleagues of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich said they have pioneered a process of encapsulated DNA in glass that is equivalent to creating a fossilised form of data storage.

They have also developed a mathematical algorithm normally used in long-distance radio transmissions to eliminate any errors when deciphering the data written in the digital genetic code of DNA.

“We will show how we can use modern chemical and information engineering tools for the safeguarding of actual digital information in the form of DNA,” the researchers told the American Chemical Society meeting in Boston.

How exactly can one molecule of DNA hold all of that data?

Re: Single DNA molecule could store information for a million years following scientific breakthrough
Yeah and because you dont get how it works it must be impossible...

Cmon.. you can store data in everything that can keep at least two states, acting as 1 & 0.

Learn how binary systems work!

Um excuse me, but I never said that as a fact. It was MY OPINION. I am not a know it all, I just don't see how this could be possible, but who knows?. Nothing more nothing less, asshat.

Sorry then. Your question wasnt clear enough.

The thing is like we both actually know: storing data is theoreticaly possible with everythin that could hold two states.

How to set the states, is the question.

I also couldnt get that info from the article.


But even a theoretical possibility is a first step.

Re: Single DNA molecule could store information for a million years following scientific breakthrough
when morality becomes the norm on this world.. your computers will be based on amino acids. of course DNA stores a lot.. does this article define a "molecule" of DNA however.. don't have time to read it.

My prayer is for all those that whine about what GOD ISN'T DOING all the while NOT REALIZING THEY ARE THE GOD THAT CREATED the PROBLEM THAT GOD IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT.

Books are not the WORD.. the HUMAN BEING IS THE WORD and when MAN UNDERSTANDS HIS HUMAN ROLE... as the WORD... this planet will come into glory.

Romans 8.14 For as many as are led by the Indwelling Spirit of the Father, they are the sons of God.
