The MOSLA (Molecular Storage for Long-Term Archiving) project is an interdisciplinary research approach to develop new methods for the long-term storage of digital information. The aim is to find a solution to the problem of the potential "Digital Dark Age" in which digital information could be lost due to outdated storage media.

MOSLA could create new cost-effective, long-lasting and sustainable storage technologies for the future and provide a foundation for alternative long-term storage alongside traditional digital storage methods. The project could also impact industrial applications in the areas of data backup, archiving and cryptography.

MOSLA takes a groundbreaking approach to storing digital data over long periods of time. The use of DNA and cluster chemistry as storage media could significantly improve data security and usher in a new era of molecular information storage.
