This 3 D Printed Bunny Could Be the Future of Data Storage

Just like 1s and 0s are the way computers encode information, DNA base pairs do the same. And although this plastic rabbit is not alive, instructions for how to replicate it are encoded into the rabbit itself. But DNA offers more density than 1s and 0s, packing all of the instructions for a human body into the nucleus of a cell. And research teams around the world have been demonstrating that theyre able to encode hundreds of thousands of terabytes of digital data in GRAMquantities of DNA. DNA offers quite the improvement to existing digital data storage methods, like the chips, spinning discs and magnetic tape that you might be used to. And this 3Dprinted plastic rabbit is a first foray into what researchers are calling the DNA of Things. So how exactly do you get DNA into a plastic object like this , data, dna, biotech, 3dprinting, science , tech
