Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed new techniques for labeling and retrieving data files in DNA-based information storage systems. DNA data storage technologies could theoretically store one billion times the amount of data stored in a conventional electronic device of comparable size.

Electrospinning, a nanofiber fabrication method, can produce nanometer- to micrometer-diameter ceramic, polymer, and metallic fibers for tissue engineering, filtration, fuel cells and lithium batteries. To help companies design materials that are optimized for these applications, scientists are building a database that correlates electrospinning machine parameters with nanofiber properties.

Someday, doctors could introduce DNA nanostructures to the human body to diagnose diseases or deliver medications. But first, they must find a way to protect or repair the molecules when enzymes called nucleases degrade them. Researchers have now developed a self-repair process that could substantially extend the lifetime of DNA nanostructures.
