DNA is a natural molecular level storage device. Molecular storage devices use each molecule or part of it for storing a character. Thus it is possible to store information million of times than presently used storage devices. For example a JPEG image (i.e. flag of India) having file size of 1981 Bytes can be encrypted using 7924 DNA bases which occupies about 2694.16 nanometers In other words flag of India can be encrypted 8.07×105 times in human genome which comprises 6.4×109 DNA bases and occupy a tiny volume of about 0.02 μm3. A method for storing information in DNA has been developed which includes software and a set of schemes to encrypt, store and decrypt information in terms of DNA bases. The main advantages of the present method over exiting art is that it addresses complete set of extended ASCII characters set and thereby, encryption of all kind of digital information (text, image, audio etc.). First of all, information is, encrypted along with carefully designed sequences known as header and tail primers at both the ends of actual encrypted information. This encrypted sequence is then synthesized and mixed up with the enormous complex denatured DNA strands of genomic DNA of human or other organism.

A novel memory cell is provided with an active region including a molecular system and ionic complexes distributed in the molecular system. A pair of write electrodes are arranged for writing information to the memory cell. The active region is responsive to an electric field applied between the pair of write electrodes for switching between an on state and an off state. The active region has a high impedance in the off state and a low impedance in the on state. A pair of read electrodes is used to detect whether the active region is in the on state or in the off state to read the information from the memory cell.

A molecular memory cell includes first and second electrodes. First and second charge storage molecules have respective first and second oxidation potentials and are disposed between the first and second electrodes. A molecular linkage couples the first and second charge storage molecules to the first electrode and provides respective first and second electron transfer rates for the first and second charge storage molecules. The first and second different oxidation potentials are different and / or the first and second electron transfer rates are different. In particular, the second oxidation potential may be greater than the first oxidation potential and the first electron transfer rate may be greater than the second electron transfer rate, such that the first charge storage molecule may be used as fast, volatile primary memory and the second charge storage molecule can be used as slower, less volatile secondary memory. In various embodiments, memory cells can be constructed from an admixture of charge storage molecules or by using a bipartite charge storage molecule. Memory cells can include a molecular transistor incorporating such molecular structures.

A memory cell is provided with a pair of electrodes, and an active layer sandwiched between the electrodes and including a molecular system and ionic complexes distributed in the molecular system. The active layer having a high-impedance state and a low-impedance state switches from the high-impedance state to the low-impedance state when an amplitude of a writing signal exceeds a writing threshold level, to enable writing information into the memory cell. The active layer switches from the low-impedance state to the high-impedance state when an amplitude of an erasing signal having opposite polarity with respect to the writing signal exceeds an erasing threshold level, to enable erasing information from the memory cell.

The invention provides two-dimensional Fe(II) complex pressure-caused spin conversion materials, a preparation method and application thereof. The invention relates to the field of spin conversion materials science, in particular to pressure-caused spin conversion materials, a preparation method and application thereof. The chemical formula of the two-dimensional Fe(II) complex pressure-caused spin conversion materials is [Fe(L)2(SCN)2]n, wherein L is 1,3-Bis (1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene ligand. The preparation method chooses L as the ligand to synthesize the two-dimensional Fe(II) complex pressure-caused spin conversion materials. The materials are free from the phenomenon of spin conversion under normal pressure; the results of temperature-change magnetic susceptibility show that antiferromagnetic interaction exists between Fe and Fe; and after pressure is increased, the results of temperature-change magnetic susceptibility show that the phenomenon of spin conversion appears, and the temperature of spin conversion changes from low to high with the increase in pressure, so the temperature of spin conversion can be regulated by regulating external pressure. Therefore, the materials have good application prospects in the fields of nanometer devices, molecular memory, molecular switches and molecule display, as well as industry.
