Scientists have made a breakthrough in DNA storage technology, allowing data to be encoded in binary code for the first time. This innovative method uses chemical markers attached to prefabricated units of DNA to store information, which can then be retrieved using DNA-sequencing techniques. The study, published in Nature, demonstrates the potential for DNA to become a sustainable replacement for electronic storage options.
