According to the recent news from the official website of the University of Alberta in Canada, the scientists of the school have improved the relevant technology and developed the solid-state memory with the highest storage density to date, and its storage capacity is 1000 times higher than that of current computer storage devices.
The latest research director, the school's physics department PhD student Rosin Carr said: 'Fundamentally, with the new memory, you can store all 45 million songs on iTunes on a 25-cent coin-sized surface. 5 Years ago, we thought it was impossible. '
The research team used the technology they developed to make atomic-level circuits that quickly remove or replace individual hydrogen atoms, which allows the memory to be rewritten, thus providing a more efficient type of solid-state drive for computers. .
To demonstrate the new memory, the researchers coded the entire alphabet at a density of 138 terabytes per square inch, roughly equivalent to writing 350,000 letters to a grain of rice.
Akar stressed that the previous atomic-level computing storage devices were stable only at extremely low temperatures, and the new memory could work at room temperature. The most direct application of this technology might be data archiving. Next, they will Further improve the speed of reading and writing, so that it can show its talents in more fields.
Another person in charge of the latest research, Robert Walco, a professor of physics at the school, is very proficient in the field of atomic physics. He has perfected the technology of nano-tips, enabling scientists to manipulate individual atoms on silicon chips. At the turning point, researchers are working to commercialize atomic-scale manufacturing that can be applied to all areas of technology.
