Abstract
A hollow, scanned probe tip is used to write and erase information in a material in manometric dimensionalities, as well as to provide ultrasensitive sensing of the stored information. The material is excited to alter it for writing and erasing, while sensing, or reading, of the stored information is accomplished by highly sensitive force sensing.
