Abstract
A recording and reproducing method for binary coded information and a suitable recording medium are described, which use endohedrally doped cagelike molecules 30, especially fullerenes and derivatives thereof, as storage elements. By applying a probing tip 36 to the molecule for the read/write process an enhanced storage density is achieved.
