This new technology called the ReRAM
also referred as the memristor is the next big thing.The fundamental component
of this technology is silicon oxide base and it tracks the change in resistance
which is done by sending variable currents [Kind of simple language for
electrical engineers,if not do pardon me ;-) ] known as resistive RAM.
ReRAM technology happens to use 1/1000th of the energy to store data and has
staggering data transfer speed nearly 100 times faster than a standard flash
drive.ReRAM also has better memory density which means it can be integrated
into a pen drive, so one can expect a terabyte in his/her cell phone that is if
the phone supports such an enormous data.Now that is what I call storage.
The inventor or discoverer or scientist
behind this technology is Adnan Mehonic of University College of London who was
handling Silicon Oxide to produce LED during one of his research which
accidentally lead to an unstable material that could be controlled with
electric pulses just similar to transistors but could store the energy for
ever.This could be an opeing for a new dimension in the computing industry.All
ready HP,Sandisk and a plethora of memory chip manufacturers are working on
this technology.I can't imagine the change this technology is going to bring
about.
