The purpose of inserting more and more data into smaller spaces continues, but both materials when the current techniques have their limits. And it was looking for a bacterium that researchers at Chinese University of Hong Kong have found a way to advance in data storage. The team has managed to store 90GB of data in one gram of cells and also developed [...]

It was created in the U.S. a camera capable of see substances “invisible” and to help research teams to quickly search for bloodstains at a crime scene, without spoiling the evidence. The camera is still a prototype and was developed by Dr. Stephen Morgan, Michael Myrick and his colleagues at the University of South Carolina It can detect [...]

The creators of this new concept of “genetic art” are two young Canadian entrepreneurs, graphic designer Adrian Salamunovic of Bolivian origin, and specialist in molecular genetics, Nazim Ahmed, who in mid-2005, founded the DNA 11 in Iowa, his home state.
