Ted Schuur, University of Florida and lead author of the study. To put this in a global context, if the average global temperature continues to rise, current calculations predict that positive feedback from permafrost thaw could annually add as much carbon to the atmosphere as another significant source, land use change.

The Quest for a DNA Data Drive

Cars That Think

Prior projections for data storage requirements estimated a global need for about 12 million petabytes of capacity by 2030. Organizations around the world are already taking the first steps toward building a DNA drive that can both write and read DNA data. But current practices are building fragility into the storage ecosystem.
