(Worthy News) – Researchers at Tel Aviv University on Wednesday unveiled “the world’s tiniest technology,” aimed at storing information on the thinnest unit known to science.
The film is composed of a one-atom-thick layer of boron and a one-atom-thick layer of nitrogen sliding one over the other. It is able to store electric information, with the university saying such storage “may significantly improve electronic devices in terms of speed, density and energy consumption.”
According to the university, current state-of-the-art nano storage devices are at least 100 atoms thick. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
