Researchers at North Carolina State University and Johns Hopkins University have developed a groundbreaking DNA-based technology that can both store data and perform computations. Unlike previous systems that could only manage some tasks, this new system can store, retrieve, compute, erase, and rewrite data, functioning similarly to traditional electronic devices. The innovation, termed a “primordial DNA store and compute engine,” leverages advanced polymer structures to maintain high data density and stability, with potential applications in long-term data storage and complex problem-solving.
