In a single experiment, scientists can decipher the entire genomes of many patient samples, animal models, or cultured cells.

Abstract: First-photon imaging is a photon-efficient computational imaging technique that reconstructs an image by recording only the first-photon arrival event at each spatial location and then ...

With so much data stored on ephemeral mediums like hard drives and magnetic tape, what will remain of our civilization in the millennia to come? Thanks to an innovation from Microsoft researchers, the ...

Researchers at Microsoft have created a data-storage system that can remain readable for at least 10,000 years — and probably much longer. In the digital age, the need for data storage is ballooning.

Long-term preservation of digital information has long challenged archivists and datacenters, as magnetic tapes and hard drives degrade within decades. Existing archival storage solutions have limited ...
