Engineered proteins store digital files with 30 times density at one-tenth cost
Massive volumes of digital data are generated every day from AI training, big data analytics and smart devices. As conventional hard drives and cloud storage are increasingly constrained by high costs, limited capacity, high power consumption and short lifespans, molecular data storage has emerged as a breakthrough storage alternative.
The tech section covers stories about technology making life better, not just more profitable. Open-source tools reaching new audiences, accessibility breakthroughs, AI applications in healthcare and education, infrastructure improvements that quietly make cities work better. Product launches and funding rounds are excluded unless they deliver tangible public benefit.
