TedXTechnion: The Future of Data Storage Is in Our DNA

Could the entire internet fit inside a shoebox? As our world generates more data than our hard drives can handle, we are rapidly approaching a global storage crisis. Prof. Eitan Yaakobi reveals a solution that has been perfecting itself for billions of years: DNA. He discusses his team’s groundbreaking work to translate digital bits into biological code, making DNA storage not just possible, but practical.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
