tech. A remarkable breakthrough in memory technology
has emerged from Feudan University, where researchers
have developed a new experimental storage device
called POX. This next -generation random -access
memory can write data in just 400 picoseconds,
achieving about 25 billion operations per second,
making it 10 ,000 times faster than standard
flash memory found in laptops. Unlike traditional
memory types that lose data when power is cut,
POX is non -volatile, retaining data without
electricity. Utilizing two -dimensional graphene,
it promises significant energy savings and the
potential for instant -on devices. However, long
-term performance data is still pending, leaving
its practical application in question. In a thrilling
