Scientists turn DNA into a memory device that uses 100x less power
Penn State researchers have developed a bio-hybrid memory device, or memristor, by combining synthetic DNA with crystalline perovskite. This innovation allows for highly efficient data storage, potentially using 100 times less power than current technologies.
DNA serves as the genetic blueprint for every living organism, but it is also an extraordinarily dense way to store information. A single gram can hold about 215 million gigabytes of data. Bringing that remarkable storage capacity into electronics could lead to more efficient data centers, faster processing and systems capable of handling increasingly complex information.
