On December 2nd, Atlas Data Storage announced Atlas Eon 100, a data storage technology using DNA. This marks the transition from the era of magnetic storage to biological storage, ushering in a new era.
Data is encoded into four DNA bases: A, C, G, T, instead of the binary 0 and 1. The synthesized DNA is dehydrated, allowing for preservation for thousands of years without the need for energy.
This technology is superior because it offers storage density more than 1,000 times higher than traditional hard drives.

Museums and governments can preserve heritage, language, and data that are important for future generations.
Atlas aims to store terabytes of data on DNA, meeting global data needs. Readers are invited to watch the video : Top 10 'Terrifying' Tech Devices of the Future.
