New Memory Chip Small Enough to Travel Through Your Veins

25chip_lg.jpg Not that you'd want memory chips running through your blood stream in the first place, but two scientists in California have made a memory chip that measures about one-2,000th of an inch on the side.

Storage-wise, the chip doesn't hold much (160,000 bits), but it shows just how small memory chips can get in the future, which makes that microSD card seem like Rosie O'Donnell in comparison.
