THIS $1,000 CARD CAN STORE A MESSAGE IN DNA
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
Startup Biomemory has released DNA cards that can store one kilobyte of data for at least 150 years. The company encodes the data by chemically synthesizing strands of DNA base by base in a process that takes about 8 hours. Customers will have to send their DNA cards to Biomemory's partner Eurofins Genomics to decode the data. They will not get their cards back after the data has been decoded. A pack of two identical cards costs $1,000.
