Carbon-Nanotube Memory that Really Competes

January 27, 2009 | Source: PhysOrg.com

Helsinki University of Technology researchers have created a carbon-nanotube based information storage comparable in speed to memory commonly used in memory cards and USB flash drives.

The memory scheme has a write-erase time of 100 nanoseconds, which is about 100,000 times faster than previously reported carbon-nanotube memory, and retains this ability over more than 10,000 write-erase cycles.
