Tiny, high-capacity "atomristor" stores data in single-atom switches

Engineers at the University of Texas have created one of the smallest memory storage devices ever, made out of a two-dimensional material measuring one nanometer square. Dubbed an “atomristor,” the device works on the movements of single atoms, which could pave the way for much smaller memory systems with incredible information density.Continue ReadingCategory: Computers, TechnologyTags: Computers, Computer, Electronic, Chip, Chips, Memristor, Memory, University of Texas
