The Future? Jeff << LONDON (May 18) XINHUA - A team of British and Japanese scientists have announced a breakthrough in semiconductor memory technology, which they claimed will revolutionize the industry, Financial Times reported Tuesday. The new chip was developed at a laboratory in Britain's Cambridge University which is funded by the Japanese electronics group Hitachi, the newspaper said. Made up of a single, smaller transistor, the new memory chip stores more information, runs on smaller batteries and is believed to cost no more to produce than existing devices. The advance makes possible the fabrication of a memory chip the size of a thumbnail capable of storing all the sounds and images of a full-length feature film, the researchers said. The new chip is so powerful that it may replace present day storage devices such as computer hard disc drives and could be used in lighter, more powerful laptop computers. Furthermore, it can retain its memory for up to 10 years when the power is switched off. The new chip will be commercially available in 2005, according to Financial Times. >>
