Artificial Amber Preserves DNA for Long-Term Data Storage

Biotechnology, Medicine /

DNA is a much denser data storage medium than anything humans can design, but it is fragile. Scientists have now mimicked nature by creating artificial amber to protect DNA for long-term data storage.

A single gram of DNA can hold up to 215 petabytes (215 million GB) of data, making it possible to store the entire internet in a shoebox. Thus, scientists have been experimenting with writing, reading, and protecting data stored in DNA.

AI-Enhanced Catheter for Medication-Free UTI Prevention

Biology, Biotechnology, Healthcare /

A 3D-printed catheter creates a miniature obstacle course to thwart microbes, addressing widespread infections in hospital settings. Over 100 million people globally need a urinary catheter annually, which is crucial post-surgery. Yet, around one quarter in developing nations and about an eighth in the U.S. who use them may experience catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI)
