STORING TERABYTES IN DNA—WHEN SCIENCE MEETS SCIFI
Researchers at Peking University have cracked the code for DNA data storage, squeezing 215,000 terabytes into a single gram with a new "epi-bits" method.
Instead of traditional, costly DNA synthesis, this technique uses enzymatic methylation to "print" data onto reusable DNA strands—think binary, but in biology.
Volunteers encoded high-res images of a tiger and panda onto DNA, proving it’s accessible, scalable, and mind-blowingly efficient.
Who needs hard drives when you’ve got nature’s blueprint?
