Engineers of University of North Carolina in the United States have developed a memory of 1TB as large as a fingernail. It is a density 50 times those large current best chips.

Nickel and magnesium

To achieve their purposes, scholars have mixed nickel oxide of magnesium. The material obtained has clusters of nickel atoms not greater than ten nanometers square. Specifically, scientists have found a way to add properties to a metallic ceramic material, reducing the size of a memory cell of about 90%. This technique is most known as doping, which adds a small amount of impurity to a pure element to change its conductivity.

An important bearing

This new technology has a range that exceeds that of the computer because engineers are also considering ceramic engines capable of withstanding operating temperatures than twice that of car engines today. Also known as solar panels more efficient. Nobody now dares to address the issue of mass production.
