In a project between UCLA and Caltech, scientists have created the densest memory circuit. It has the size of a blood cell. The density is 100 times better than the standard storing devices and further improvement could make it even smaller.
Although mass production would not be possible until 2015, this is an amazing improvement not only in technology but also in science. Nanotechnology is probably one of the hottest topics in technology right now and this is the case that demonstrates how much we have improved since electricity was discovered.
Imagine a blood cell. It’s red, yes, that’s why we call thim red blood cells. It’s little. Very tiny. Actually, unnoyingly small.
Now imagine a memory chip. Like those you see in a Furby. But much smaller. Much smaller. No, no, even more smaller.
They are of the same size.
Isn’t it amazing? You can have a [tag]memory[/tag] chip in your computer with the size of a blood cell. Maybe you, reader, you are amazed by this, or maybe not. But imagine the practical applications of this breakthrough in technology.
A watch with 100 gb of memory. A pill that detects cancer automatically and sends to a computer the diagnose of the tumor cells. A pill that even cures cancer. A pill that erradicates [tag]HIV[/tag].
Do you understand now? Nanotechnology is a key element in a better future world.
