Fluorescent Molecule Data Storage Quiz

What is the primary advantage of using fluorescent molecules for data storage?

• They consume less energy and last longer.

• They are cheaper than traditional storage methods.

• They are visible to the human eye.

• They are easier to manufacture.

What is a major limitation of current data storage devices like optical and magnetic memory?

• They are not scalable.

• They have a short lifespan of less than 20 years.

• They consume too much energy.

• They are too expensive.

Which type of molecules did researchers choose for encoding information?

• Molecules that emit light at different wavelengths.

• Molecules that are biodegradable.

• Molecules that are magnetic.

• Molecules that are visible to the human eye.

How is the information encoded using fluorescent molecules?

• By using a laser to etch the molecules.

• By printing tiny spots of molecules on an epoxy surface.

• By embedding molecules in a magnetic field.

• By using a chemical reaction to change the color of the molecules.
