Harvard scientists turn a silicon chip into a DNA writing machine Harvard researchers have turned a silicon chip into a tiny DNA-writing factory. Date: July 8, 2026 Source: Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Summary: Scientists have created a silicon chip that can write dozens of DNA sequences simultaneously using electricity and water-based enzymes, offering a cleaner alternative to conventional DNA manufacturing. The breakthrough could eventually support portable DNA-writing devices and even massive DNA data storage, although new chemistry will be needed to scale the technology further.
