Researchers at IBM last week unveiled an experimental new way to store information or control the switching of an electronic circuit.
The researchers showed that passing a voltage across electrolyte-filled nanochannels pushes a layer of ions—or charged atoms—against an oxide material, a reversible process that switches that material between a conducting and nonconducting state, thus acting as a switch or storing a bit, or a basic “1” or “0” of digital information.
