Summary

The memory can also be erased and rewritten, potentially helping mimic the architecture and functioning of the human brain. This memory storage is different from a memory foam’s elasticity, which cannot be reprogrammed.

Potential applications include the fabrication of auxetics and reprogrammable Braille displays. Information can be encoded within the protein polymer network or actin cytoskeleton.
