Caltech, UCLA Scientists Claim Circuit Breakthrough
Experts are already saying the new chip developed by Caltech and UCLA shows the potential for making integrated circuits at increasingly smaller sizes. Although still at least a decade away from mass production, the circuit could spur companies to create new manufacturing technologies to squeeze more circuitry onto ever-smaller devices.
Researchers in California said they have created the world's densest memory circuit, one that's about 100 times denser than today's standard memory circuits, while remaining as small as a human white blood cell.
>
But researchers point to the circuit's density as the real breakthrough: 100 billion bits per square centimeter, which the researchers said is about 100 times more tightly packed than current memory circuits.

Technology experts said the new circuit shows the potential for making integrated circuits at increasingly smaller sizes. Although still at least a decade away from mass production, outside experts say, the circuit could spur companies to create new manufacturing technologies to squeeze more circuitry onto ever-smaller devices.
