Carbon Ring Storage Could Make Magnetic Memory 1,000 Times More Dense
“If they’re right, carbon ring storage should allow engineers to access this extraordinary stability, and that could lead to fantastically long-lived memory. It should also allow much higher memory density too. The cobalt grains now used in magnetic storage are roughly 8 nm across. Benzene rings, on the other hand, are merely 0.5 nm across.”
