Memristors are considered one of the most promising technologies that can replace modern transistors. Researchers recently announced the creation of the smallest memory device, an “atomistor” measuring one nanometer square. The recording density on it is a hundred times higher than modern analogs on flash memory.
A significant breakthrough in microelectronics was made by engineers at the University of Texas. During the experiments, they were able to write information on the smallest memory device in history, measuring only 1 square nanometer.
The device was named “atomristor. In addition, such devices will consume much less energy, according to 4pda.ru.
