DNA + Perovskite: AI chip power cut by 100x
heyshrutimishra · x · 2026-08-22
Penn State researchers combined synthetic DNA with perovskite semiconductors to create a memory device that stores and processes information in the same place, using 100 times less power than conventional chips. This bio-hybrid system addresses compatibility issues between biological and electronic materials, leveraging DNA's extreme storage density (215M GB per gram). Published in Advanced Functional Materials, the tech aims to solve AI data center energy bottlenecks.
