cryptography and data storage are two of the most important reasons why computing was born and continues to grow today. But when we believed that the investigations were more or less stagnant, there is science to prove them wrong. Researchers at the University of Hong Kong carried out exactly as I say in the post title, strange as that sounds: able to store 90GB of information in 1 gram of bacteria.
"Microchips? "Si? "Aluminum? "Plastic? In the words of scientists:
explore the possibilities of using a biological system as an alternative solution for storage and data encryption.
Researchers have developed a "parallel storage system bacterial" which together with data encryption modules (which works, basically, randomized DNA sequences) and literacy (I / O), are planning to establish a kind standard in data storage in living cells.
The University published a paper detailing the Discovering and explain that for example 1 gram of cells is composed of 10 million cells and the Declaration of Independence of the United States is stored in just 18 bacterial cells. The PDF is a marvel, so if you are interested technical aspects have to read it.
As for the potential applications of this "hard disk biology" (which would also be incredibly safe and sturdy), mentions the storage of text, images, music and video, as well as the inclusion of "bar codes" which may serve as a means of identification between synthetic and natural bodies. The last feature mentioned in the PDF is to be inserted into cells Escherichia_coli copyright to verify the identity of the designer's body
