"MATERIALS:Graphene memories denser than flash"


Graphene sheet memories at least twice as dense as flash and using a novel two-terminal architecture are being developed by researchers at Rice University. Graphene, which is composed of thin films of pure carbon atoms not rolled into nanotubes, have been used for ultra-fast transistor prototypes at IBM and elsewhere, but a group led by Rice professor James Tour is the first to report fabricating simpler, two-terminal memory devices using graphene.
