It can hold more information in a droplet than all the data centers on Earth combined. 🧩How Does It Work - Let’s break it down: Computers use binary code (0s and 1s). DNA uses four bases, which are like its alphabet:...

Next to the computer screen is a toy packaging box, designed in a style reminiscent of high-quality collectible figures, printed with original artwork.
