This technique would allow 502 terabytes of data to fit into one square inch. According to the authors, "[t]ranslating the two-dimensional storage density presented here to three dimensions, would ... allow the storage of the entire US Library of Congress in a cube 100 µm wide." At the moment, the memory array can operate up to a temperature of 77 K (about -210 C), meaning that the technology would be restricted to data centres capable of maintaining such temperatures.</p> Tue, 26 Jul 2016 16:56:39 +0000 webfull 120069 at /channels /channels/news/when-nanotech-meets-quantum-physics-one-dimension-232585 <p>How would electrons behave if confined to a wire so slender they could pass through it only in single-file?</p> <p> Thu, 23 Jan 2014 19:10:42 +0000 webfull 100811 at /channels /channels/news/building-tailor-made-dna-nanotubes-step-step-243039 <p>Researchers at ���ϲ����� University have developed a new, low-cost method to build DNA nanotubes block by block – a breakthrough that could help pave the way for scaffolds made from DNA strands to be used in applications such as optical and electronic devices or smart drug-delivery systems.</p> <p> Mon, 23 Feb 2015 18:35:43 +0000 webfull 108294 at /channels
