Graphene to create the fastest flash memory
Where traditional memory works in nanoseconds, PoX operates in picoseconds. That is 0.0000000004 sec to store one bit of information
Fast memory is the holy grail of todays AI dominated world. The faster the access to the memory, the faster data and instructions can flow. Current technologies operate in the nanoseconds, that sounds fast, but in fact it is not fast enough to work with the new processor technologies. Apart from the access time, power consumption and how to retain data without power supplied (think Flash memory) are important specifications for the new era.
Researchers from the Fudan university have successfully used Dirac graphene (cone structured) in the channel of a memory cell creating the new flash memory. They published their research in Nature. They call the new memory technology PoX!

Graphene is always recognized as the 2D wonder material. It is very strong and has very specific electrical features. Researchers all over the world are looking to use this wonder material in the new semiconductors. It looks like this new research has everything to create a new chapter in the graphene application history.
