Smallest Data Storage Device
The world's smallest data storage device has been invented by scientists at the University of Texas.
This unique device is made of two-dimensional (Toddy) material and its size is equal to one nanometer.
Scientists have dubbed it the Atom Raster.Meaning it is a transistor that stores data at the atomic scale.While the device works with the movement of single atoms and keeps a large amount of information and data in very small memory devices.
Experts say that this device belongs to the brand new emerging field of electronics 'Memester' and it holds data between the resistance switches and when a certain voltage is applied to a particular substance.
Its electrical resistance changes.Either weakens or becomes stronger.While this phenomenon is used to write and erase data and finally the same resistance process can also be used to read stored data.
Experts say that data can be stored at the nuclear level and that molybdenum disulfide has been used for this purpose.But the same process can be tried on many substances to make them 'atom resistors' and thus this world.Is the smallest memory ever made on a nuclear scale.
To make the atom resistor, experts divided molybdenum disulfide into pieces one nanometer long and one nanometer wide.Which were only as thick as an atom.Thus could theoretically store 25 terabytes of data per square centimeter piece.Which is 100 times more than the current flash memory capacity per square centimeter.While interestingly, at the nuclear level, very little energy is required for storage.
