The
process of making the protein cube has many different steps. First the bacterias
DNA is splice and mutated to make the protein more efficient for use as
a volumetric memory. Then, the bacteria must be grown in large batches and
the protein extracted. Finally, the purified protein is put into the cube
and used as a volumetric storage medium.

The cube is read by two lasers as binary code. One laser is used to activate the protein in a section of the cube. The other laser is used to write or read binary information in the same section. The data is assigned as either a zero or a one. The binary code is then analyzed by the computer as various pieces of information. |
