[edit] Biological Storage Media

Biological Storage Media (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

While the idea is certainly intriguing, it is nothing more than a patent. Non-notable crystal stuff. If it was worth mentioning in the 'pedia, it would most certainly be mentioned in one of our numerous articles related to hard disk drives.

  • Keep, it's been written about in Discover magazine[1]. The Inquirer wrote about protein memory[2]. I see few sources online for "biological storage media", but I do see some sources for "protein memory" and "chromophoric memory" and "dna optical storage" on Google/News/Book/Scholar. --Pixelface (talk) 23:02, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
    • This article talks specificially about DNA storage, but the Discover Magazine link seems to qualify. However, I still think that this article is unsalvagable - best delete it and perhaps create a new one somewhere else. Jobjörn (talk) 23:07, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

  • comment - I'm certain this has also been written about in several New Scientist articles in the past year. Suggest this article could be rescued, if someone was willing to volunteer - and, I guess, if we don't already have the article under another title somewhere else.
