A Single Gram of DNA Can Store 215 Petabytes of Data
Researchers have encoded entire books, images, and even short videos into synthetic DNA strands that remain stable for thousands of years. DNA’s four-letter code mirrors binary, allowing massive information density. Unlike hard drives, DNA does not degrade with repeated reading.
💡 Fun detail:
All the world’s current digital data could theoretically fit inside a few hundred kilograms of DNA kept in a cool, dark place.
