this is effin nuts: http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/03/nanowir...orage-capacity/
For those that don't know what this means. Currently pretty much any digital device uses two values for each bit, 0 or 1. this one will allow for three, 0, 1, or 2. Think of it like this: currently, if you have 16 bits to store a number in, you can get numbers up to: 2^16 = 65,536 with this new system: 3^16 = 43,046,721 |
