"Using memristors, they have been able to store 100 gigabits on a single die in one square centimeter. That is substantially more than the 16 gigabits for a single flash chip, with the access speed of DRAM." LINK

I saw this too. It's important as this increases speed dramatically. It also will lead to faster solid-state drives (hard drive made of memory).

I've been looking forward to this for some time now. I can't wait to see what they come up with to utilize this tech. I can hardly wait to play with it. Cheers (Get your mind out of the gutter Stryder) edited on May. 1, 2008 03:41 pm by Foxhound

Heard about graphene? Quote: Researchers have built the world's smallest transistor - one atom thick and 10 atoms wide - out of a material that could one day replace silicon. ............graphene can be carved into tiny electronic circuits with individual transistors not much larger than a molecule. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7352464.stm

first time I hear about graphite seriously considered in transistor production. But the memristor looks terribly more of a 'revolution' as it is not a switch ; it act a lot more like a potentiometer. The more current go through (one way) the memristor, the higher is the resistance. To decrease the resistance you have to put current though the memristor the other way. On top of that it seems, it would hold it state of resistance when the device is turned off. One article mentioning a RAM memristor module upside against the current volatile RAM we are using today. But apparently, THE major change would be for the computing of AI and advanced logarimth processing: no ON/OFF but 'shade of grays'.... can't wait, but I will have to. Tam
