Transferred from Decemberist Notes The development of an eternal DNA-based storage medium in St. Petersburg is not science fiction, but a promising area of research. Scientists have already written a short phrase on the synthesized DNA. Molecules make it possible to store huge amounts of data with minimal physical space. In the future, it may be useful for preserving scientific archives and transmitting information in space. However, before practical implementation, the problems of cost, write and read speed, as well as storage reliability still need to be solved. It is equally important that such problems be discussed by scientists from different countries and different scientific disciplines. Complex technologies are born at the intersection of knowledge, and the international exchange of ideas makes it possible to quickly test hypotheses and find innovative solutions. It is too early to talk about an imminent technological breakthrough, but the initiative cannot be written off as projects. The power of science lies in connecting minds, and the true value of breakthrough ideas is determined by whether a bold idea can be turned into a working technology.
