SAN DIEGO -- For the next generation of optical storage technology, scientists at the University of California are looking to the sea. A report published in Nature describes newly discovered properties of the green fluorescent protein that gives jellyfish their eerie glow, and explains how those properties could someday be exploited to store and access computer memories in packages the size of a single molecule. Although researchers just discovered the unique switching properties of mutated molecules of the protein procured from the Aequorea victoria jellyfish, they envision a day when...Read full article
