Lab-made DNA can store memory like a flash drive
Reported byPopular Science ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Researchers at Penn State University engineered synthetic DNA integrated with perovskite semiconductor material to create a memory resistor (memristor) that stores and processes information in the same location, using 100 times less power than traditional flash drives while storing more data; the work was published in Advanced Functional Materials.
