Abstract:
Systems and methods for data storage and readout using hybrid nucleic acid- polymeric molecules are herein disclosed. A molecular data storage medium is presented comprising a header and a footer, each comprising or consisting of at least one unit of a first chemical species; and a sequence-controlled polymeric chain of a second chemical species located between said header and said footer, said polymeric chain encoding for a desired bitstream-format media. A nanopore-based device and methods for decoding digital information from the molecular data storage
Abstract:
Redundancy information can be included in nucleotide symbol strings encoding underlying data. To avoid propagation of errors during the decoding process, during encoding, a constrained encoding can be performed before the redundancy information is computed. The redundancy information can be an outer encoding across multiple nucleotide symbol strings. An inner coding within nucleotide symbol strings can also be supported. Such redundancy information can be interleaved into the underlying nucleotide symbol strings to which the constrained encoding has been applied, resulting in a relaxed constraint. Insertion/deletion redundancy information can also be included in the resulting strings, and an insertion/deletion-sensitive sequence can be included to assist in recovering accurate sequences during decoding operations.
Abstract:
In some embodiments, systems and methods for storing and/or retrieving digital information in a nucleic acid library are provided. In some embodiments, an integrated system comprising a nucleic acid synthesis device, a nucleic acid sequencing device, a computing device, and a nucleic acid library is provided. In some embodiments, a write request that associates a value with a key is received by the system, the system synthesizes nucleic acid molecules associated with the request, and stores the nucleic acid molecules in the nucleic acid library. In some embodiments, a read request for a key is received by the system, and the system sequences nucleic acid molecules from the nucleic acid library that are associated with the key.
Abstract:
A method of forming a nanostructure comprises forming a directed self assembly of nucleic acid structures on a patterned substrate. The patterned substrate comprises multiple regions. Each of the regions on the patterned substrate is specifically tailored for adsorption of specific nucleic acid structure in the directed self-assembly.

Abstract:
Some embodiments include memory arrays having a plurality of memory cells vertically between bitlines and wordlines. The memory cells contain phase change material. Heat shields are laterally between immediately adjacent memory cells along a bitline direction. The heat shields contain electrically conductive material and are electrically connected with the bitlines. Some embodiments include memory arrays having a plurality of memory cells arranged in a first grid. The first grid has columns along a first direction and has rows along a second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction. First heat shields are between adjacent memory cells along the first direction and are arranged in a second grid offset from the first grid along the first direction. Second heat shields are between adjacent memory cells along the second direction, and are arranged lines in lines extending along the first direction. Some embodiments include methods for forming memory arrays.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus related to PCMS (Phase Change Memory with Switch) write error detection are described. In one embodiment, a first storage unit stores a single bit to indicate whether an error corresponding to a write operation in any of one or more PCMS devices has occurred. Also, one or more storage units each store a plurality of bits to indicate whether the error corresponding to the write operation has occurred in a partition of a plurality of partitions of the one or more PCMS devices. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
