Scotland: Now you can easily improve memory storage for smart phones, cameras, MP3s and more. A research in Scotland facilitated to develop a new device for to enhance memory storage.

The device is equipped with tiny mechanical arm that help to translate data into electrical signals. It allows to use less energy compared with conventional memory storage products available in the market and faster operation.

The new device records data by measuring current passing via carbon nanotube and an electrode that controls flow of current determine binary value of the data. Scientist have been able to overcome the problems by using mechanical arm to charge electrode that is faster in operation than conventional memory devices. The research held at the University of Edinburgh worked with Seoul National University, in Korea and Konkuk University.

From the University of Edinburgh’s school of chemistry, Professor Eleanor Campbell, who participated n the research said, “This is a novel approach to designing memory storage devices. Using a mechanical method combined with the benefits of nanotechnology enables a system with superior speed and energy efficiency compared with existing devices.

The idea is quite novel – using the mechanical switch to charge and discharge without having a voltage constantly applied to the device. With this device you have much faster switching on and off which you do not have with conventional memory storage devices.”

Professor Eleanor Campbell added further, “We had the idea for the device quite some time ago. It was a few months between the idea and the creation of the model. However, one of the issues with these novel devices is how easy they can be manufactured on an industrial scale, which we are yet to see.”
