World's Thinnest Flash Memory Cell Unveiled
qorkfiend writes "Measuring a scant 20 nanometers across, Infineon AG's new nonvolatile flash memory cell could lead to 32 gigabit flash chips within the next few years. The cell contains a unique structure with a fin for the transistor to avoid nano-scale physical effects and uses 90% less electrons than today's memory to store data."
One can carry both their MP3 AND pron collection.
This one guy I know can finally leave the house. I'll tell him.
There's nothing Intelligent about Intelligent Design.
...it can currently only store '1's. '0's are still too wide to fit.
90% fewer electrons is all about conservation.
See, it's like recycling - you know, not depleting our natural electron supplies and screwing our grandchildren.
I think I need a new sig here.
You don't already have a big aluminum fin on there, to increase speed? If it weren't for that and these v-tech stickers, it would be unusably slow ...
"Because Science" is one step from "Because old book". Try "Because of my experiment testing my falsifiable assertion".
Wouldn't want to use it in space though.
Good point, because as we all know: In space, no one can hear you blue-screen.
