Memristor: HP, Hynix to build nano memory

Houston (ip-192.com): Hynix Semiconductor Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co. agreed to develop a new kind of universal memory dubbed “ReRam” or Resistive Random Access Memory to eventually replace DRAM or dynamic random access memory and flash memory. ReRam is based on a technology known as memory resistor, or memristor, that consists of passive two-terminal circuit elements [...]

Next-Gen computer chips build on DNA?

Armonk, NY (ip-192.com): The race to produce smaller and smaller microchips has led IBM to turn to one of the very building blocks of life for help with the process—DNA molecules. IBM researchers, along with scientists at the California Institute of Technology, have discovered that the tiny components that run along a chip's silicone surface [...]
