According to the researchers, the technology could be easily integrated into today's silicon processing systems, and it is likely that it will appear within the next few years.

Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory of the US Department of Energy and the University of California say the new technology could contain thousands of times more data per square inch than current norms in chips. The current.

' We have developed a new mechanism for this type of storage memory. They include ultra-small carbon nanotubes with extremely large data storage capabilities , 'said physicist Alex Zettl, head of the study.

Zettl said that the latest nano achievements have used nanoparticles with ions of about 1 / 50,000 widths of human hair. In addition, the ability to open and close electric currents in these nanotubes has almost absolute accuracy, making life and data storage capabilities greatly enhanced.
