memory devices

Here is some good news for all. The scientists from Arizona State University’s Centre for Applied Nanoionics will soon empower your memory devices with high performance, long battery life and enriched storage capacity.

They are articulate in applying nanotechnology in almost all the memory devices from digital cameras to laptops available in the market. It is inexpensive and compatible to any memory device.

Michael Kozicki, Director at Centre for Applied Nanoionics says,

In using readily available materials, we’ve provided a way for this memory to be made at essentially zero extra cost, because the materials you need are already used in the chips — all you have to do is mix them in a slightly different way.

As of now, the memory devices are based charge. Thus, the performance of such devices largely depends upon the physical size. If the device is smaller in size, then it can not store sufficient charge. Ultimately, less memory and poor performance!

The scientists have developed a resistance-based memory using nanotechnology which is capable of storing multiple bits on one site. The unique feature of this memory is that it does not alter, even when the power is down.

The Centre for Applied Nanoionics has carried out the research partnering with Research Center Julich in Germany.
