memory chips

(Rice University) Rice University scientists have created the first two-terminal memory chips that use only silicon, one of the most common substances on the planet, in a way that should be easily adaptable to nanoelectronic manufacturing techniques and promises to extend the limits of miniaturization subject to Moore's Law.

By propping up Elpida Memory, Japan hopes to salvage its only major maker of dynamic random access memory chips, considered vital to its electronics industry.
