Researchers have managed to encode enormous amounts of information, including images, into DNA at a rate hundreds of times ...

Bricks’ of DNA, some of which have chemical tags, could one day be an alternative to storing information electronically.

Scientists from Peking University have found a method that allows data to be stored on DNA 350 times faster than before. This ...

CallaghanDNA has been used for years to store data, but encoding information into the molecule is painstaking work. Now, ...

The genetic code is a set of rules defining how the four-letter code of DNA is translated into the 20-letter code of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. The genetic code is a ...

In this project, the scientists exploited a natural chemical process known as methylation to modify biological building blocks in DNA known as bases. Since this meant the bases were either methylated ...

Plus: A new class of materials for carbon capture, Blue Origin’s new spaceship and the science-approved way to throw a ...

There are different potential ways to store this information in DNA - for example, a zero in binary code could be represented by the bases adenine or cytosine and a one might be represented by ...

And the evolutionary view of a single (and very ancient) origin of life is supported at the deepest level imaginable: the very nature of the DNA code in which the instructions of genes and ...

Although the DNA code from cell to cell is the same, there are many different types of cells within the body, each with a specific function. For example, the long, narrow muscle cell is designed ...

G-code is effective, easily edited, and nearly ubiquitous when it comes to anything CNC. The format has many strengths, but space efficiency isn’t one of them. In fact, when it comes to 3D ...

In any era, the story of electronics has very much been about figuring out how to make something happen with what’s available at the time. And as is often the case, the most interesting ...
