DNA and Perovskite Power Next-Gen Memory | Science News

from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Scientists have cracked the code on merging DNA with electronics, creating a revolutionary memory device that packs massive data storage into minuscule power use. Using synthetic DNA and perovskite, researchers at Penn State built a memristor — a brain-like component that remembers electrical history — slashing energy needs by 100x compared to flash drives. Silver nanoparticles embedded in precisely arranged DNA strands enable stable, ultra-low-voltage conductivity, opening doors for next-gen AI and ultra-efficient computing.
