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 |

Could also possibly be used for reversible computing systems.

pebkac That would be cool. Jul 4 2008, 02:24 PM FORSAKENR320 sounds alot like dividing by zero Jul 4 2008, 02:50 PM chook sounds like a redux of the old motorolla tristate. Jul 4 2008, 05:39 PM zetec isn't this similar to quantum state computing? Jul 5 2008, 02:49 PM impala454 eh, sorta but not really. this is a much simpler ... Jul 5 2008, 04:10 PM chook all it is is extra memory in the device. My only ... Jul 6 2008, 02:58 AM
impala454 if this was intended for something like PC memory,... Jul 6 2008, 11:39 AM chook QUOTE (impala454 @ Jul 6 2008, 12:39 PM) ... Jul 7 2008, 12:06 AM |
