Nanotube Non-Volatile Memory Entering Production

Posted by michael on from the nano-nano dept.

hovermike writes "Nantero and LSI Logic are expected to announce that nanotube non-volatile memory will be going into production, at least as far as the NY Times is concerned. Nanotubes have been discussed previously, Nanotube Applications..., and Buckminsterfullerene..., but I'm certainly surprised something like this has moved into production this quickly. Could this be the ultimate 'bubble' memory?" Reader hovermike writes "The press release can be found at the Nantero website. I'm looking forward to only needing one memory card to store all the 5Mbit pictures that I'll take for the rest of my life."

    With that said, I'm sure they are taken out of production again :)

    Well, if it's not, you can always say that your memory "went down the nanotubes."

    whoa get a life!
    How about trying to use it to feed children?

    Yeah, 'cause a typical CF card contains 100% of the US RDA of High-Impact Plastic! Not to mention 62.5% of the RDA for Silicon, plus important trace elements like copper wiring and gold plating!

    "There will come a day when DRAM will go away and we'll be left with extremely fast and simple NVRAM for main memory and possibly even archival storage."

    Then not even rebooting will "fix" a MS-Windows computer, and everyone'll go Linux. :)

    that's a pipe dream

    I doubt that a child would eat a memory card, even if they were really hungry.

    You've obviously never been the parent of a 18 month old toddler.

    Lets invade Canada. We can use the French Canadians for medical experiments, and We'll appropriate enough maple syrup to pay for the invasion. They have WMD (celine dion) and are more then willing to use it.
