A memorable loopy address : A simple molecular memory, named the “hairpin‐DNA memory”, has been developed (see schematic). The memory employs the temperature‐controlled conformational transition of hairpin‐DNA strands in memory writing and erasing and allows parallel addressing of a very large memory space without physical wiring. Experiments on repetitive memory writing and erasing demonstrated that the molecular addressing was highly selective and parallel.
