Computer Memory In Artificial Atoms: Carbon Nantubes Can Rev Up Speed, Accuracy Of Data Storage

ScienceDaily (2008-04-08) -- Nano-physicists have made a discovery that could change the way data is stored on computers. In the future it will be possible to store data much faster, and with more accuracy. A computer has two equally important elements: computing power and memory. Traditionally, scientists have developed these two elements in parallel. Now computer scientists have made a step towards a new means of data-storage, in which electricity and magnetism are combined in a new transistor concept. ... > read full article
