Motorola reveals nanocrystal chip - Michael Kanellos, CNET News.com
Motorola plans to announce on Monday that it has manufactured prototypes of a flash-memory chip that relies on a thin layer of silicon crystals to retain data, a breakthrough that could help the flash industry overcome looming technical hurdles. If the chip moves to the mainstream, flash-memory chips--used to store data and applications inside cell phones, industrial equipment and portable memory cards--would likely become cheaper or, conversely, more powerful compared to existing chips because manufacturers could squeeze more memory cells into a smaller space.
