Scientists have built a working memory chip that is roughly the size of a white blood cell — about 1/2000th of an inch on a side.
The scientists, led by James R. Heath of the California Institute of Technology and J. Fraser Stoddart of the University of California, Los Angeles, are to report their findings in Thursday’s issue of the journal Nature.
