- 100 GB of storage for your cell phone?
- British nanotechnologists have emulated the functions usually associated with transistor-based digital electronics in all-metallic nanoscale devices made from ferromagnetic materials. This technology could lead to three-dimensional microchips with tremendous memory capacities. These devices, which can be described as "MRAM that can think," mimic the functions of the brain. The design...
