Carbon Nanotube Memory on the Way
Cyberherbalist writes "Nantero, a nanotechnology company, is expecting prototypes of products using NRAM technology (nanotube-based, non-volatile random access memory) to be available in 2006. In the article at nature.com, it says that 'the company has succeeded in making circular wafers, 13 centimetres in diameter, that hold 10 gigabits of data.' And they are ten times faster than 'flash' memory."
The only thing nano means is that it sounds more futuristic and "cool". How many companies have the word nano in their names just to attract investors? The new Hummer may have nanocomposite materials, but it's still the size of a small house.
