Scientists Unveil Most Dense Memory Circuit Ever Made

Posted by samzenpus on from the size-matters dept.

adamlazz writes "The most dense computer memory circuit ever fabricated, capable of storing around 2,000 words in a unit the size of a white blood cell, was unveiled by scientists in California. The team of experts at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) who developed the 160-kilobit memory cell say it has a bit density of 100 gigabits per square centimeter, a new record. The cell is capable of storing a file the size of the United States' Declaration of Independence with room left over."

    White blood cells are formed within the bones from stem cells. They do not replicate DNA.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

    Considering the way your independence is shrinking by the day, I guess it will soon fit (in word format).

    From TFA: (first line) "All T cells originate from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow."
