Retro cassette tapes are staging a comeback, but with a futuristic twist. Researchers have merged the nostalgic design of a 1980s cassette with cutting-edge DNA data storage, unveiling what they call a DNA cassette.
Xingyu Jiang and his team at the Southern University of Science and Technology in Guangdong, China, created the device by printing synthetic DNA molecules onto plastic tape. “We can design its sequence so that the order of DNA bases (A, T, C, G) represents digital information, just like 0s and 1s in a computer,” Jiang explains. This means the cassette can store virtually any digital file, from text and images to music and video.
