Mr. Fahrenheit writes: Wired is reporting that Arizona State researchers "have developed a low-cost, low-power computer memory that could put terabyte-sized thumb drives in consumers' pockets within a few years." "The new memory technology — programmable metallization cell (PMC) — comes as current storage technologies are starting to reach their physical limits." PMC involves the on-demand creation of copper nano-wire bridges and probably a couple of small-animal sacrifices to make the magic work.
