Scientists are exploring the groundbreaking concept of using DNA as a storage medium, leveraging its natural ability to retain information. A recent achievement by chemist Robert Grass showcased how a 40-minute Netflix episode was encoded in DNA, promising data preservation for centuries compared to traditional methods. A new approach involving prefabricated DNA components allows even novices, such as students, to encode their own texts with minimal errors. However, experts caution that while the method democratizes DNA storage, its high costs and stability concerns still pose significant challenges before it becomes commonplace.
