Saturday, 08 September 2007 |
It’s a breakthrough from a shift of South Korean scientists headed by Prof. Ree Moon-hor at Pohang University of Science and Technology. He has used plastic to make non-volatile memory devices, which hold their content without the need of power supply as comparable to flash memories. Since the new memories are produced with plastic, they can be bent or folded, allowing them to take the forms of foldable laptops or wearable computers. New memory device can operate at one particular a real low voltage coverage. As a result, they hardly consume power, greatly extending battery life.
Samsung Electronics, the world’s foremost memory chipmaker, provided funds for the project over the past three years along with the Korean government. The team is currently in talks with Samsung, which is showing interest in the new technology. That will not take much time to commercialize process when Samsung chooses for new technology.
