Circuitry discovery could lead to beefier memory

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) —A scientists have speculated that normal electrical circuits have a natural ability to remember things even when the power is powered off. they could not that yet before.

The researchers at Hewlett-Packard Co-operation . discovered them right, with this discovery they hope will lead to memory chips that store more data but consume far less power than those found in today’s personal computers and other digital devices.

The new found circuits ” memristor”. can enable cell phones that work weeks or longer without a charging, PCs that start up instantly, and laptops that retain your session information long after the battery dies.

It also can challenge flash memory, which now mostly used in portable electronic devices because of its ability to recall information even when power is off. Chips incorporating the HP discovery would be faster, suck up less power and take up far less space than today’s flash.

“It certainly looks fine . said “Wolfgang Porod, professor of electrical engineering at the University of (Notre Dame) and director of the university’s Center for (Nano Science and Technology) . so far it is expected that it will go 100 times better or 1,000 times better (than today’s flash).

Scientists started thinking science 1970s that along with the three well-known elements of a basic circuit — the resistor, the capacitor and the inductor — a fourth fundamental building block is possible.

so far it is an nice achievement by scientist .
