3D printing enables DNA data storage with a twist…

Scientists at ETH Zurich (Switzerland) have taken the 'Internet of Things' one step further to create the 'DNA of Things', whereby everyday objects can be 3D printed to store vast amounts of data. A research team from ETH Zurich (Switzerland) has announced success in the 3D printing of data into everyday objects. This could lead to capabilities in hiding instructions for the replication of 3D-printed objects and even the marking of medications. After collaborating with an Israeli scientist, the ETH Zurich team has been able to develop a means for storing vast amounts of data in any 3D-printed object, via...
