Nanotube Memory Finally Beats Flash For Speed

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."

    "The device managed to withstand 18,000 operations, which is a reasonable lifetime for a memory device, she adds."
    Is that good for experimental chips or do I not understand how such a low number is reasonable?
