I’m not sure how I feel about this. Combine this with the AI techonology…
DNA Chips: The Billion Gigabyte Storage Solution of Tomorrow
In the form of DNA, nature shows how data can be stored in a space-saving and long-term manner. Würzburg’s chair of bioinformatics is developing DNA chips for computer technology.
The hereditary molecule DNA is renowned for its ability to store vast amounts of information over long periods of time in an incredibly small space. For a good ten years, scientists have therefore been pursuing the goal of developing DNA chips for computer technology, especially for the long-term archiving of data. Such chips would be superior to conventional silicon-based chips in terms of storage density, longevity, and sustainability.
… If this works well, the information is preserved for a very long time – researchers assume several thousand years. The information can be retrieved by automatically reading out and decoding the sequence of the four basic building blocks.
This type of storage has been demonstrated, but there are still hurdles to clear: storage costs are astronomically high and information retrieval is very slow. But that may be overcome by using molecular and nanotechnologies, new polymers, and better production processes. It could become a home product in only years.
… “With our proof of concept, we can show how current electronics and computer technology can be partially replaced by molecular biological components,” says the professor. In this way, sustainability, full recyclability, and high robustness even against electromagnetic pulses or power failures could be achieved, but also a high storage density of up to one billion gigabytes per gram of DNA.
Thomas Dandekar rates the development of DNA chips as highly relevant: “We will only last as a civilization in the longer term if we make the leap into this new type of sustainable computer technology combining molecular biology with electronics and new polymer technology.”
Thank you for the compliment, Tedtam. Matsuo needs all the love and attention he can get; his life was a bit rocky for a while after his adopter got sick and moved out of state — without him. That was partially offset by getting to return to his first home and his bestest brother Lynx and his loyal “momma”.
Matsuo is lucky to have such a momma.
Not going to visit Matsuo in the hospital tonight. His doc phoned a status report and info on what he would need to do when he comes home tomorrow. On hearing that he needed to spend at least 2-3 days in isolation, I told the doc that I have a 2-level cage on wheels that David and I used several… Read more »
One good reason to check that all of your doors and windows are closed before you leave town.
Holy moly, what a mess.
My chicken stock “pucks” are finally finished. I put those into canning jars and vacuum sealed them. Two of them that didn’t fit into the jars went individually into my smallest Mylar bags. These bags have press-to-seal strips, so I put a straw into one end and seal right up to the straw. I suck out the air and pull… Read more »
The pillow fights appeared to take place in New York City. I saw engagements in the subway, parks, sidewalks, coffee shops (they took the pillow fight outside, naturally).
I even saw one old guy drop his cane, and another man get up from his wheelchair long enough to take a few swipes.
Every fight ended with grins and hugs.
The august New York Times had a headline today about the persecuted, mistreated woman in Virginia who was simply trying to pay her bills by making X-rated sex videos with her husband and posting them on a public website where they can be archived across the internet. Poor little ole thang. I mean she has two children to feed and… Read more »
Pillow fights with strangers? In public? Where was this free entertainment?
I just got through watching a video where two guys handed pillows to passers by and engaged in pillow fights with them. Spreading the joy.
Sounds like something I’d do.
The beatings and abuse will continue until morale improves.
Texpat, that is truly horrifying.
A hospital is actively fighting against a mentally competent patient–as judged by their own psychiatrists–in order to hasten her death. And in order to do so they have arrived at a novel theory, and one the judge they argued before accepted: she cannot be considered mentally competent because, according to their own judgment, her desire to live distorts her capacity… Read more »
This is an alarmed excerpt from the hard-core leftwing website, Vox.com, via Hot Air. The great news they’re so worried about is the serious advance of genuine school choice in states across the nation. Even in the reddest states, they fell short of their true Holy Grail: public money funding private school tuition, for all who want it, including middle-class… Read more »
Well, I got UP 2 hours after my morning alarm dingged off. FYI, that is a new low, even for me. I fed all the cats, then had a quick small breakfast myself. I noticed Matsuo was walking on the kitchen counter and leaving smudged footprints — an odd shade of dark red, which freaked me out. My first thought… Read more »
Free Willy Paxton.
impeach house speaker dud phlegmlan.
Had to skip breakfast and lunch didn’t happen until 2:30.
I had two filets of Blackened Mahi Mahi with ancho chili sauce.
Excellent!!
McIntyre quoted Tuberville as saying, “We’ve got 44 four-star generals right now. We only had seven during World War II. So I think we were a little overloaded to begin with. I don’t care if they promote anybody to be honest with you.” I don’t either. We are not talking about a guy getting a stripe when completing boot camp… Read more »
Friday night Her Highness and I were watching Jesse Watters’ show on Fox while we prepared supper. He had a long feature segment on this illegal alien Brazilian punk who escaped from a Pennsylvania prison by frog-crawling up a wall, climbing onto the roof, walking over to climb down the fence and escape. This is a prison for murderers. Don’t… Read more »
The pagan idol is called Pachalala (Replace the “l” with “m”. I don’t like to put the names of demons in print). This is how Francis gained the derogatory nickname “Pachapapa”. Pachapapa encouraged a worship service in the Vatican garden to the pagan idol. The image is a carving into a flat piece of wood, of a naked woman whose… Read more »

The question if pope Frankie is in league with the evil one should have been settled once and for all when he not only placed pagan idols inside the church (I forget the name of the main church/chapel in the Vatican) but retrieved and returned them from the river when a faithful Catholic tossed them in there. Having pagan idols… Read more »
The word was a new one on me. Sedevacantism (Latin: Sedevacantismus) is a doctrinal position within traditionalist Catholicism, which holds that the present occupier of the Holy See is not a valid pope due to his espousal of one or more heresies and that, for lack of a valid pope, the See of Rome is vacant. The term sedevacantism is derived… Read more »
Saw this over on MeWe.com: A very important piece by Dr Peter Kwasniewski: Recent events prompt me to make the following statement. Ten years ago, I started off trying to make sense of Pope Francis’s utterances and policies, giving him “the benefit of the doubt.” This was difficult to sustain for long, as he wandered off more and more into… Read more »
There are a lot more serious things going on in the world, but this is so absurd. A Democratic candidate for the Virginia House of Delegates performed sex acts with her husband online — and asked her virtual audience to pitch in with “tips,” The Post has learned. Susanna Gibson, a mother of two young children who is running in… Read more »
Big news in the Catholic world: the Vatican is going to pressure the wonderful Bishop Strickland of the Tyler, TX diocese to resign. Bp. Strickland spoke out against the vaccines and masking mandates. The Vatican was pushing them. Strickland has been faithful to the Scripture and the Catholic faith, and has called out Francis and his cronies on their evil,… Read more »
I think I’m going to start a binder/recipe book for FD recipes. I have some recipes that need to be tweaked or adjusted for larger volumes to make them Elsa worthy. So…I have a “regular” cookbook, and binder full of keto recipes, and now a FD book. I have an Evernote file with keto recipes, maybe I’ll start another one… Read more »
I managed to get herbs put into Fred and they are drying. I have 1½ pans of breakfast scramble pre-freezing for a future Elsa run. The few beans I harvested this morning are about to be blanched before joining their bean brothers in the big freezer. Handyman is through for the day, so I can begin to plan out the… Read more »
If a picture paints a thousand words.
Tucker speaks my language about coward WEF governor Abbott.
It’s not a democracy though.
Never was.
but the situation shamed them enough that they moved and started using the slow-charge stations nearby.
For folks who normally shed shame like a duck sheds rain, that’s progress.
A caravan of electric vehicles recently set off on an expedition from Charlotte to Memphis to tout the wonders of those marvels of technology. Led by our intrepid DOE Secretary, Jenny Granholm, the convoy stalled in Grovestown, Georgia, where they discovered that charging stations aren’t as abundant out where normal people live as they may be in all those ur-hip… Read more »
Good Morning Hamsters, We’re off to a good start finding out about the latest version of the “vaccine du jour” that isn’t really a vaccine exactly….

And some good news from California, for a change. Remember that horrific bill that punished doctors who didn’t toe the company line on WLR treatment? A few days ago, California bill SB815 was sneakily amended to include a provision to repeal AB2098, the state’s currently-enjoined doctor censorship law. Everything you need to know is in the LA Times’s description of that law… Read more »
Speaking of The Hair, he seems to be crawdadding on how he handled the WLR crisis. Perhaps to pull in some of those centrist Trump haters looking for any reason to not-vote-Biden-but-won’t-vote-Trump. In a Meet The Press interview with Chuck Todd, Governor Newsom expanded on his poor pandemic response and “humbly” said that he’d learned a lot of lessons and,… Read more »
I linked to this story yesterday: In another UK Daily Mail article you won’t see in U.S. Establishment Media, this weekend’s headline said, “Incredible moment White House staff abruptly end Biden’s rambling Vietnam press conference mid-sentence and cut his mic.” In a difficult start, President Robert L. Peters began by telling reporters, “I don’t know about you, but I’m going… Read more »
Ukraine, Ukraine, G20 getting tired of Ukraine, Ukraine outraged at weak resolution language, Russia, proxy war, Ukraine, blah, blah blah… It seems that the G20 is backing slowly away from Zelensky, and he’s not happy about it. It also seems that Ukraine is running out of bodies to throw at Russia. How long before they beg for foreign boots to… Read more »

I tended my garden this morning, and harvested a few beans for eating and one bean for seeds. My cantaloupes are still getting ripe. I haven’t been harvesting my herbs much this year, but this morning I cut some basil to put into my mesh herb dryer that I have hanging in the dining room. My lemon basil is one… Read more »
Bsue – I got in late last night and didn’t see your post to me until just now. I’ve been doing the measuring my food in pound and half pound sets, using the method that School Reports uses. That way I can figure the rehydration amounts for foods where it would be important, like your cole slaw. Or the sauces… Read more »
Super Dave, we found out during the off season our shock/spring setup was all wrong – meant for asphalt not dirt. They used to run both but all tracks on our schedule are all dirt now. We ordered new sets from a guru out of California, setup for our tracks, he has a full time job and builds them on… Read more »

I ruin’t the joke, doctors appointments are not in Galveston, we go there for my brother’s retirement party, just have appointments before we can head out of town.
We head to Galveston this afternoon, of course in true “senior” fashion we both have doctors appointments to make. 😀
I’m not sure when son and I last raced, maybe May. We wrecked and tore out the left front suspension. Not huge damage but after one thing or another we are just now getting it going to run at Cotton Bowl Speedway this Saturday night.
