Abstract :
Storage media based on biomolecules may provide a commercially viable alternative to current magnetic and optical storage systems. Our research is aimed at developing the storage media systems based on newly designed thermostable bacteriorhodopsin (bR) mutants and exploring limits of high-density optical recording using far-field and near-field approach
