Using DNA To Build DRAMs

Posted by Hemos on from the make-them-tiny dept.

SailorBob writes "A research team at the University of Minnesota has demonstrated a technique using DNA crystals to build 20 angstrom 1 bit single electron memory cells. The researchers claim that this technique could be used to build memory with a 10 trillion bits/cm2 density, which would mean a 6.4 Terabit DRAM."

    Actually, the article appears to be mainly talking about a circuit assembly technique, using DNA, which can assemble at the nanoscale. Memory is just an example application, so it's not even really talking about memory!

    Hmm... wonder if the /. readers even read the title of the articles... :-)
