DNA storage is also much more expensive to manufacture.
The encoded data on the DNA by nicking strands at various points to represent the 1s and 0s of binary, and represented different calculations by using a network of microfluidic channels. This transfers fluids around an integrated circuit to perform functions as chemical reactions.—Scientists create light-based semiconductor chip that will pave the way for 6G
DNA-based data processing offers many benefits, according to the paper. Unlike in conventional computing, the storage and computing components are handled by the same component rather than separate ones, although this is not a benefit isolated to DNA storage.
