Bio-Hybrid DNA Memristor Promises Ultra-Low-Power Data Storage
Penn State researchers combined synthetic, silver-doped DNA with perovskite to create a bio-hybrid memristor that stores data with far less energy—about 100 times lower power—while achieving higher storage density than traditional memory, a breakthrough poised to enable neuromorphic, brain-like computing. The device operates at voltages below 0.1 V and remains stable under high temperatures and for weeks at room temperature, highlighting a viable path for low-power, high-density memory in future electronics.
