Quote...RAM chips can read or write a binary digit â€" bit â€" in as little as half a nanosecond.

QuoteThe best RAM chips today need about 10 nanoseconds to do the same thing

Sounds pretty idamn quick to me. And to boot it should require less power.

QuoteThe coming chips can’t walk up walls, but they can retain information without requiring the near constant electrical refresh cycles associated with current DRAM technologies. This could mean big power savings compared with current Dimms, and computers that go instantly into a standby mode and stay there for years without needing a power supply.

Interesting stuff dont ya think.

Hippy

That is rather interesting...

BUT this beats it:

Quotesetae, which are those tiny hairs on the feet of gecko lizards. Actually, the ends of setae split into many nanoscale fibres called spatulas, and these spatulas are so fine that they form molecular bonds with almost anything they touch.
