Three dimensional memory arrangement uses fluorescent protein crystals with optically controlled state changes

摘要

The three dimensional memory [2] is formed by a solid state body that has a pattern of green fluorescent protein, GFP, [4] crystalline elements that represent data bits. A '1' state is provided by a fluorescent condition and a '0' by a non fluorescent state. The states of the protein bits is controlled by an optical system [1] and output by a reader [7].
