==> HP DESIGNS NANOSCALE MEMORY CHIPS

Hewlett-Packard has created a new computer memory chip using nanotechnology

to fit a 64-bit memory unit inside a single square micron (a micron is

one-millionth of a meter). Although the new chip’s capacity is too small to

be useful, the development signals a key advance in the prevailing trend

toward miniaturization. In addition, the chip combines for the first time

both memory and logic by manipulating molecules caught in a grid of

superthin platinum wires. “This is the first demonstration that molecular

logic and memory can work together on the same nanoscale circuits,” says an

HP spokesman.
