UCLA, Caltech Chemists Report the Creation of Large-Scale Molecular Memory, an Important Step Toward Building Molecular Computers
A team of UCLA and California Institute of Technology chemists reports in the Jan. 25 issue of the journal Nature the successful demonstration of a large-scale, "ultra-dense" memory device that stores information using reconfigurable molecular switches. This research represents an important step toward the creation of molecular computers that are much smaller and could be more powerful than today's silicon-based computers.

Imagine not only buying your cpu by the processor speed, but also by the storage capacity.
