Abstract
Data storage is provided using double-stranded nucleic acid molecules provided on a thermal control device comprising a plurality of sites and temperature control circuitry to independently control a temperature of each of the plurality of sites. The temperature control circuitry, controls the site temperatures to provide a different temperature at a target site compared to other sites of the plurality of sites. The different temperatures at the target site and the other sites provide a greater probability of a read or write operation acting on the target site compared to the other sites. The temperature-based addressing helps to increase physical storage density.
