A local probe storage array is provided that includes a substrate, and a polymeric layer over the substrate, the polymeric layer comprising a crosslinking agent comprising at least three alkyne groups.

A device includes an upper metallic layer, a lower layer, and a nano sensor array positioned between the upper and lower layers to detect a presence of a gas, a chemical, or a biological object, wherein each sensor's electrical characteristic changes when encountering the gas, chemical or biological object.

A dielectric reproducing device and a dielectric recording and reproducing device that can improve the reproduction speed. A detection means is provided so as to be able to detect a polarization state of each bit 1a corresponding to the data recorded in a data recording layer by relatively scanning the data recording layer made of a dielectric material. A heating means is provided so as to be able to heat the bit to be detected to a predetermined temperature while the detection means detects the polarization state. A reproducing means is provided so as to be able to reproduce the data based on the polarization state of each bit detected by the detection means.
