Nanotube Memory Finally Beats Flash For Speed

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the more-nano-for-your-nano dept.

holy_calamity writes "Although flash memory that stores each bit on a single nanotube has been tinkered with in the lab for years, it has always been much slower than the devices in use today. A Finnish team has now cracked that, demonstrating single bits of nanotube memory that can be written in just 100 nanoseconds. Existing flash memory takes tens of microseconds."

    No, it would be 10^-9 LoCs. You're thinking of deci-internets.
