Researchers from National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany recently used salmon DNA to build a write-once-read-many (WORM) data storage device. Data is written to the device with a laser and read electronically, and you can enjoy the thought that your data’s sitting on a piece of sushi.
In this case, the DNA came from the testes of Oncorhynchus keta — aka chum salmon.
