In this age of technology, we are generating a lot of data and there is a significant need to find a new way to store information more efficiently. Since the 1988, scientists tried to use nature\'s own information storage material, DNA, to store all of our digital information. In this episode, tune in how scientists from Microsoft and University of Washington are utilizing nanoscale electrode wells to improve the rate of real-time information translation to DNA!
