Technology writing binary data


chain synthetic polymer
   Researchers from the Institute Charles Sadron (Institut Charles Sadron) and the University'aix-Marcelle (Aix-Marseille Universite, France, have developed a new technology write binary data to a sequence chain synthetic polymer, the thickness of which is approximately 60 thousand times less than the thickness of a human hair. This technology has a great future in the near future become a repository for digital data, which has not only the small size today, and the biggest indicator of the density of information storage, but also has some other very attractive options. Currently storage is one of zettabyte (1 billion terabytes) requires about a thousand pounds of cobalt alloy, the material used in the plates of modern hard disks. Setbit data stored as a sequence of chains of the DNA molecule, will require only about 10 grams of this material.
