Wily - Re: "The U of U researchers who are doing the development under contract reported a few months ago reads and writes in a single memory cell and they are now working on an 8-bit sample.

Does this thing have a future?"

The .7 nanoMeter tunnel dielectric looks like a clear hurdle that needs to be overcome - due to defects, dielectric breakdowm, leakage, etc. - or replaced with a different dielectric.

Also, current driven pulses for the read and write operation - as opposed to the voltage activated CMOS/MOS DRAm memories - could be another stumbling block.
