nanotechnology
Boffins at
Arizona University have developed a new process that will allow the production of low cost, energy efficient, high capacity memory. High capacity refers to the ability to construct an economically viable terabyte thumb drive. The new technique relies upon making changes to copper particles at the molecular level. The end result is a new memory standard that costs one-tenth the price of traditional flash memory, and is a staggering 1000 times more energy efficient.

Center for Applied Nanoionics, whose team was behind the development, said:
