Binary storage refers to the method of storing data in a computer using binary digits (bits), which can be either 0 or 1. This allows computers to efficiently represent and manipulate a wide variety of information, including numbers, text, and images. Registers are small, high-speed storage locations within a CPU that temporarily hold data and instructions during processing. They facilitate quick access to frequently used values, significantly speeding up computing operations.
The universal shift register is a type of sequential logic circuit that is used for the storage or transfer of data in the form of binary numbers and then "shifts" the data out once every clock cycle.
The function of registers is the same in all computers. They are the fundamental binary interface between the internal and external structure of the CPU. All binary transactions between the CPU and its peripherals pass through registers. From the inside, they are the final periphery to the pins.

Main Memory and Registers of just about every computer are based on 64-bit or 32-bit binary integers.

A processor stores data primarily in its registers, which are small, high-speed storage locations within the CPU used for temporary data manipulation. For longer-term storage, data is transferred to the cache memory, which is faster than main memory (RAM) but smaller in size. When the processor requires data that is not in the registers or cache, it retrieves it from RAM or other storage devices through the system's memory hierarchy. Data is typically stored in binary format, represented as bits (0s and 1s).

The purpose of any register is to keep records: a register is a database.
