Self-Growing Material Opens Chip, Storage Advances
coondoggie brings us this NetworkWorld article, which begins:
"In the ever-growing desire to produce smaller, less costly, yet more powerful and faster computers and storage devices, researchers today said they are looking at a way to
use self-growing fabrics that will let manufacturers build nano-sized high resolution semiconductors and arrays to answer that craving. Researchers at the Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center (NSEC) at the University of Wisconsin — Madison have come up with a method that uses existing technology to combine the lithography techniques traditionally used to pattern microelectronics with novel self-assembling materials known as block copolymers, researchers said. When combined with a lithographically patterned surface, the block copolymers' long molecular chains spontaneously assemble into the designated arrangements."
how does using nanotech allow for "cheaper" storage devices?
You hit the nail on the head right there.
Your mother, a particularly cheap storage, is frequently opened with my dick as per the headline:

Only in most cases it's your Mother being opened with my self-growing material. She stores my genetic material inside her.
