If Michale Kozicki is right, hard disks and dvds will soon be toast, something that techs like myself have been hoping for for a very long time. Kozicki has developed a new non-volatile nanoscaled memory technology that's faster, cheaper, more reliable and far more energy efficient than today's expensive and limited flash memory found on devices like the iPhone and digital cameras. Using entirely different physics, PMCs (Programmable Metallization Cell) "...stores information in a fundamentally different way from flash. Instead of storing bits as an electronic charge, the technology creates nanowires from copper atoms the size of a virus to record binary ones and zeros."
Axon Technologies, the business spinoff from Arizona State , has licensed the tech to Micron, Qimonda and Adesto. Click on the graphic below to see how PMCs work.
When this technology is factored in with flexible screen displays,
WiMax and the 700 MHZ spectrum, the impact tech will have on society will go beyond imagination.Timeframe - 3 years
Any questions?
