1. A memory device, comprising:
a memory cell, comprising:
an array of one or more molecule chains, at least one of the molecule chains comprising: (i) first and second binding sites positioned at first and second ends of the molecule chain, respectively, and (ii) a chain of one or more fullerene derivatives, chemically connecting between the first and second binding sites;
a source electrode and a drain electrode, which are electrically connected to the first and second binding sites, respectively, and are configured to apply to the array a source-drain voltage (VSD) along a first axis; and
a gate electrode, which is configured to apply to the array a gate voltage (VG) along a second axis, different from the first axis; and

a controller, which is configured to perform a data storage operation in the memory cell by (i) applying to the gate electrode a signal for producing the VG, and (ii) applying the VSD between the source and drain electrodes.
