The world is running out of storage space. In 2025, we produce 180 Zettabytes of data annually. Data centers consume massive land and power. The solution? Back to nature: DNA.
Extreme Data Density
Collaborative research by Microsoft and the University of Washington proves that 1 gram of DNA can store 215 Petabytes of data. Meaning, the entire current internet could fit in a shoebox.
How?
Binary code (0 and 1) is converted into genetic code (A, C, T, G). This data is synthesized into physical molecules. The advantage? Data can last thousands of years without degrading (like DNA fossils), unlike HDDs which fail in 5-10 years.
