Describe a biological engineering application or tool you want to develop and why. I want to develop biological data storage using synthetic DNA as a medium for long-term information preservation.
The demand for data storage is accelerating rapidly. Current storage technologies, which are largely silicon-based (transistors, SSDs, HDDs, data centres), store information using the binary states of 0 and 1. The datacentres that house the world’s data require enormous quantities of energy and resources to construct and maintain, with well-documented negative environmental impacts.</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026a/jude-nimo/homework/week-01-hw-principles-and-practices/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
