DNA Data Storage Capability and Compactness

Описание: Discover the fascinating world of DNA data storage in this 15-minute science explainer! Learn how digital information—from texts and images to videos—can be encoded into DNA molecules, offering a revolutionary alternative to traditional hard drives and cloud servers. With over 180 zettabytes of global data as of 2024, DNA's incredible density means all the world's data could fit into a coffee mug-sized volume. Explore how researchers translate binary code into DNA sequences using chemical bases (A, T, C, G) and see real examples from Harvard, Microsoft, and cutting-edge biotech companies. Understand the benefits like extreme data density, long-term durability, and energy efficiency, along with current challenges and future possibilities. Perfect for science students seeking to grasp this mind-blowing technology. Subtitles included for clarity. #DNADataStorage #ScienceExplainer #FutureTech
