DNA Drives, Glass Discs & 5D Crystals: The Race to Store Data Forever

DNA Drives, Glass Discs & 5D Crystals: The Race to Store Data Forever

DNA data storage can reach about 215 petabytes per gram, with estimates of nearly 1 zettabyte per gram under optimal conditions, and a grain of salt could hold 10 full-length movies. DNA storage could last millennia if properly stored, and dried DNA encapsulated in glass survived neutron radiation without data loss. Writing DNA is slow and expensive today, taking hours or days to write even a few MB, but in 2025 an AI-driven decoder called DNAformer cut retrieval time for 100 MB from days to about 10 minutes. In March 2024 the DNA Data Storage Alliance published the Sector 0/1

Quantum in Orbit, 100K-Qubit Ambitions & More – Quantum Computing Roundup (July 30–31, 2025)

Quantum in Orbit, 100K-Qubit Ambitions & More – Quantum Computing Roundup (July 30–31, 2025)

The first quantum computer in space is now operational in Earth orbit, launched on June 23 as a compact photonic device about 3 liters in volume that consumes roughly 10 watts, led by Philip Walther of the University of Vienna. On July 30, D-Wave Quantum unveiled a plan to scale to 100,000 qubits through advanced cryogenic packaging leveraging NASA JPL know-how to interconnect multiple chips for fluxonium-based gate-model qubits and next-generation annealers. IonQ and Oak Ridge National Laboratory demonstrated a hybrid quantum-classical approach to unit commitment for a power grid, using IonQ’s 36-qubit Forte ion-trap system to schedule 26 generators

On 23 June 2025, a United Launch Alliance Atlas V launched 27 Kuiper satellites from Cape Canaveral into a 450 km parking orbit, bringing Amazon’s on‑orbit Kuiper fleet to 54 operational satellites plus two de‑orbiting prototypes. The Atlas V mission is the second of eight Kuiper flights on that rocket, with ULA set to fly 44 Kuiper missions in total (6 more Atlas V plus 38 Vulcan), delivering more than half of the 3,236-satellite constellation. Amazon’s 172,000 ft² Kirkland, WA factory can mass‑produce up to five Kuiper satellites per day, reducing individual test times from months to days. Amazon has
