<p>A membrane memory system comprises a substrate of a selected metal, anodized to provide a surface layer of a microporous ceramic matrix membrane having substantially regular vertical pores. The microporous ceramic matrix membrane may be separated from the metal substrate by a barrier layer at the bottom of each pore. Data is recorded on the membrane memory system by ablating the barrier layer at the bottom of selected pores so a pattern of ablated and nonablated pores denote positive and negative binary information bits. A method using a modified electron microscope having a rapid, precision swinging electron beam or a laser beam to insert information into or extract information from the membrane memory system is also disclosed.</p> |
