3D Printing May Be the Key to Affordable Data Storage Using DNA

"Finding more storage space seems to be an ongoing quest for modern humans. Our daily lives reflect this, and usually from beginning to end; in fact, my morning began today listening to my teenagers bicker about the mess in their bedroom closet. One likes everything tidy and out of sight, while the younger tends to toss things into the closet as if it were a black hole for dirty clothes and items that are basically unwanted. Although met with some disdain for interrupting their routine morning debate on the way to school, I pointed out to both of them that the closet can be a very effective storage area when used correctly.

We also have the weekly roundup with everyone looking for their digital storage devices, with flash drives scattered about as if they don’t matter a bit, until the homework is due. I think tonight’s dinner conversation should be very interesting indeed—and if you are reading this, perhaps the same at your house tonight—as we talk about DNA and its potential not only to store data, but to do so safely for thousands of years.

This process has been picking up steam since 2012 when scientists at Harvard University used DNA as the storage medium for a whole book. Five years later..."
