World's Densest Memory Cells Created
toybuilder writes "A Reuters new article reports the development of the world's densest memory circuit at Caltech & UCLA. The circuit has a bit storage density of 100Gb/cm^2; about 100 times the density of today's memory circuits. Interestingly, this new design places memory cells at junctions of a tic-tac-toe-like grid of wires, somewhat reminescent of core memory of the past."
To contain all of Slashdot's dupes.

Not only is this a dupe, it's one from yesterday. Ugh.

Dense is good?
People have been calling me dense for years. But hey, they also called me a geek, so maybe they're right.
Paleotechnologist and connoisseur of pretty shiny things.
and its back???http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid =07/01/24/2320248&threshold=-1
do the editors not even read their own site any more???
have you seen my sig? there are many others like it but none that are the same
So is it most dense or densest? Make up your mind!
Maybe Ray Kurzweil and Vernor Vinge were on the money. Except, it occurs to me, if the silicon valley companies come up with a singularity, why do they have to bring the rest of humanity along? In fact, the faster they accelerate, the longer it will take to disseminate the advanced technology, until at some point it cannot disseminate fast enough. So they'll just disappear by themselves!
Incidentally, I'm not sure this is a dupe; the first article said that HP did it and this one says that now CalTech has done it. They were working independently. It's nice to have an independent lab reproduce your results. Just ask Pons and Fleischmann.
Was going to say the same thing once I saw the 160,000 bit size.
We were all warned a long time ago that MS products sucked, remember the Magic 8 Ball said, "Outlook not so good"
All you need to know is that they both talk about the same exact 160,000 bits memory implementation to know it is the same. No two competing groups would both come up with that same strange way of expressing the memory size. Anyplace else would say 20,000 bytes, or 19.53125 KB, not 160,000 bits.

Apparently Slashdot editors have been found to have the world's densest memory cells. You can't even get them to remember what happened yesterday. That's what I call dense.
09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 is the magic number.
I don't care. I've got karma to burn!
duuuuuuuuupe

They spent all that time and effort on it and they were beaten by a day.
By people from the same institutes too!
Lone Star! We meet again, for the first time, for the last time!
wow they made a circuit with 100GB/cm2 that we'll never see in a real memory device for like ever. Good thing I can hop on over to inPhase and store 300 GB on a 130mm by 3.5 mm disc (that's 350 GB/in2 density which I think is like 25 GB/cm2) and have it up and running at my business in like a week for like $4000. Not exactly a wise idea to try to invent something that might just barely beat something that's commercially available right now because by the time it's ready for commercial applications, holographics will blow it away. The discs have a shelf life of 50 years or 10 million read cycles in use and the read write speeds are insane. Sorry to have kinda killed the wow factor but it's not that wow after all :-P Btw what ever happened to the "nano punch stamps" that could hold like 10 terabytes on a 1 inch square area by impacting the 0's and 1's a couple nanometers apart that was reported on slashdot a long time ago?

A Reuters new article reports the development of the world's densest Slashdot editors at Caltech & UCLA. The editors have a dupe storage density of 100Gb/cm^2; about 100 times the density of today's Slashdot editors. Information on how many dupes of the Library of Congress could fit into a 747-full of tubes is still awaited.
Jumping Jesus on a Pogo Stick people, a good sweeping majority of the comments so far have been "OMG DUPE", "OMG SLASHDOT SUXORS", "EDITORS ARE STEWPID".
How about next time there's a dupe, you just don't comment. Let the people who have something intelligent and informative to say post. Also, not everybody might have seen it the first time.
Lighten Up.
Your hair look like poop, Bob! - Wanker.
If it's a dupe, just click on the FireHose Link, then find the article (some magic involved). After that vote against it.
I believe this works.
I saw it here last last week.

And it's pretty damn dense, too.
They just happened to create the memory cell, twice, one yesterday, one today.
You know, there's still lots of empty space in my PC case. Memory chips that are "too big" have yet to be pushing themselves out the air vents.
"It's the height of ridiculousness to say for those 9 lines you get hundreds of millions."
My next-door neighbor is much more dense than this RAM.
Come on Slashdot. Can't you even find the typos in the 3-line summary? Please fix the quality of your editors.
