1. An information storage device comprising:
- a storage node including a plurality of magnetic domain regions, and magnetic domain walls arranged between the magnetic domain regions;
a write unit configured to write information to a first magnetic domain region of the storage node;
a read unit configured to read information from a second magnetic domain region of the storage node;
a magnetic domain wall moving unit electrically connected to the storage node, the magnetic domain wall moving unit being configured to move the magnetic domain walls;
a temporary storage unit electrically connected to the read unit, the temporary storage unit being configured to temporarily store information read by the read unit; and
a write control unit electrically connected to the temporary storage unit and the write unit, the write control unit being configured to control current supplied to the write unit.

Abstract
An information storage device includes a storage node, a write unit configured to write information to a first magnetic domain region of the storage node, and a read unit configured to read information from a second magnetic domain region of the storage node. The information storage device further includes a temporary storage unit configured to temporarily store information read by the read unit, and a write control unit electrically connected to the temporary storage unit and configured to control current supplied to the write unit. The information read from the second magnetic domain region is stored in the temporary storage unit and written to the first magnetic domain region.
