[ad_1] In recent years, researchers have used DNA to encode everything from the operating system to malware. Rather than being a technological curiosity, these efforts were serious attempts to take advantage of the properties of DNA for long-term data storage. DNA can remain chemically stable for hundreds of thousands of years, and we’re unlikely to … Read more
