 Random Access Memory  RAM is a form of computer data storage  RAM is a volatile type memory  RAM can also be used as a much faster Hard Drive

 Carbon nanotubes are the strongest stiffest materials on earth  Metallic nanotubes can have an electrical current density more than 1,000 times greater than metals such as silver and copper.  Nanotube based transistors have been made that operate at room temperature and that are capable of digital switching using a single electron.

 Nano-RAM is being developed by the Japan based company Nantero  Dr. Thomas Rueckes, Nantero's Chief Technology Officer, uses carbon nanotubes as the active memory elements of NRAM  Dr. Rueckes uses nanotubes great conductivity to create clusters of cells to form NRAM chips

 NRAM chips can be much smaller that todays DRAM chips  NRAM is non-volatile  NRAM, unlike Flash RAM, can read/write with much less power.  NRAM can not be erased with magnets, radiation, even power failure will not corrupt data

 NRAM is great in theory. i have read many different articles on this subject due to a report ia m doing about it. NRAM is also unaffetced by strong magnetic fields and extreme temperature changes like hot and cold. add the fact that tey are 100 times stronger than steel and much more conductive than copper, nanotubes are an interesting way of producing the specified results. Anyways i am waiting for the day when Harddrives will no loner be an issue, and you will no longer worry about loosing reports you have been writing or work you were doing. NRAM is a wonderfull thing in theory, now all that is let is to wait and see. Posted by Dan on 03/10/2005 at 02:40 PM,

 How would the incorporation of NRAM change the computer industry? ◦ Price ◦ Storage Capacity ◦ Hard-drive  What other technology will nanotubes affect?
