Scientists from the United Kingdom and Japan that have done research into magnetic bacteria lwa n claim faster data storage. It uses a biological mechanism in the microbes.

The bacteria are of the species M. magneticum and keep themselves under other in life by ijzerconsumptie. Inside the cell it is converted to magnetite, a form of iron oxide. By the way in which the bacteria these magnetic molecules to create and store a bacteriekolonie a kind of magnet: according to scientists, can this mechanism be used as replacement of hard drives.

By the manufacture of magnets which are based on the biological mechanisms where M. magneticum use of, storage of data faster than current hard drives. Also would the bacterial mini-magnets components of hard disk drives smaller. It is still unclear when the first prototypes can be made with what scientists have discovered. Probably leave this in the years to come.

Further, the researchers have conductive wires have been developed that are based on components of a biological cell. This nanodraden are made of molecules, which in the body are used for the cell membrane. The wires can be used for the sending of data, but are also suitable for surgical procedures, because the body nanodraden not rejecting.
