Scientists in China and the US have developed a novel storage medium made from silk proteins, an implantable material on which information can be written to, read from and erased.
The silk protein memory, capable of storing digital information as well as biological data such as blood biomarkers, has a capacity of 64GB per square inch and can operate under harsh conditions including bacterial contamination, high humidity, high magnetic fields and clinical-level gamma radiation.
