Scientists Build Memory Chip as Small as Blood Cell
January 25, 2007 | Source: New York Times
Scientists have built a working memory chip with 160,000 bits capacity that is roughly the size of a white blood cell about 1/2000th of an inch on a side.
The chip has a bit density of 100 billion per square centimeter, about 20 times greater than current memory chips.
A key component of the memory chip is a molecular switch using rotaxanes.
