Terabyte Flash Drives?

Nerd Grind — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 23:14:43 +0000

Researchers at Arizona State University have discovered a new technique for manipulating charged copper particles at the molecular scale. What that means for us, is low-cost, low-power computer memory – like a terabyte-sized flash drive!

"A thumb drive using our memory could store a terabyte of information," says Michael Kozicki, director of ASU’s Center for Applied Nanoionics, which developed the technology. "All the current limitations in portable electronic storage could go away. You could record video of every event in your life and store it."

This new technology has a catchy name too – nano-ionics, a field that focuses on moving and transforming positively charged atoms.
