ABSTRACT:
In an information storage device, a writing magnetic layer is formed on a substrate and has a magnetic domain wall. A connecting magnetic layer is formed on the writing magnetic layer, and an information storing magnetic layer is formed on an upper portion of side surfaces of the connecting magnetic layer. A reader reads information stored in the information storing magnetic layer.
