Researchers Demonstrate DNA Data Stability Under Stress
Researchers at ETH Zurich, led by Robert Grass, have demonstrated that DNA data remains stable for thousands of years. The team utilized silica glass beads to protect the genetic material. Experiments showed that data could still be recovered even after inducing temperature and other environmental stresses. The study replicated a European climate to test these long-term stability conditions.
